Responding to me or him? I'll be more specific about what it is that I am talking about. Mandrake 8.2 had this wonderful system where htdig was manipulated by a web app and used to create a search index based on a list of directories specified by the user. As I recall, no webserver was required. It operated just like a web search engine though, with the exception that one could specify the directories that were to be indexed and searched. I added "/usr/share/doc", clicked on a button to rebuild the index and then I could search all the little HTML based HOWTOs, help files, operator manuals etc. etc. It especially proved helpful when help documents turned up in odd places.
Makes me wonder what you use for reading help files. In all helpers I know there is a search feature, be it a text file or a html or even a man file.
Maybe I misunderstand what you are looking for but I do a lot of searching in help files using the search features of the app I read the help file with.
