Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 7.04, all updates installed

1. Open Ubuntu's help viewer.
2. Do a search for anything.
3. Click the link "Repeat the search online at the Ubuntu Help Pages".

What should happen: A browser opens to an URL starting with 
http://search.ubuntu.com/help?os=ubuntu&ver=7.04&q=
What actually happens: A browser opens to an URL starting with 
http://search.ubuntu.com/help?os=ubuntu&ver=6.10&q=

(search.ubuntu.com not being responsive at the moment is bug 118730.)

Unless Ubuntu 7.04 is updated with a fix for this bug, when
search.ubuntu.com is developed to return results appropriate to the
Ubuntu version you want help with, it will not be able to tell the
difference between 6.10 and 7.04. This would be bad.

I'm not running Gutsy, but I guess this link probably hasn't been
updated for Gutsy either. Please do so, and establish either a process
or code in yelp so that the link always includes the correct Ubuntu
version.
