Thanks, David. That's what I tried. I tried removing everything and adding it back. I tried removing everything, closing Qt Assitant, re-starting Assistant and adding everything back. I tried it more than once, and with some details thrown in like setting it to a blank page before removing everything. My search still doesn't work.
I'm wondering if there's an index file somewhere that I can trash in order to force the index to be re-built. Or maybe there's a secret way to make Assistant rebuild its index. -John Weeks On 13-Mar-2012, at 1:55 PM, David Ching wrote: >> Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2012 13:21:56 -0700 >> From: John Weeks <[email protected]> >> Subject: [Interest] Qt Assistant can't search >> To: [email protected] >> Message-ID: <[email protected]> >> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" >> >> I have recently installed Qt 4.8 on my Macintosh, and now Qt Assistant > can't search for anything.
