Bug ID: 150205
Summary: De-emphasize freetext search
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Documentation
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
In our help, the topmost bar (with product name, module and language selectors)
has also a freetext search box (using "Omega Search" engine).
Personally I never found it useful (also before the engine switch, when it used
Google search IIRC); the relevance of results was always awful. On the other
side, Index search gives *much* better results in my experience.
I realize that my use might not be the most typical; but e.g.
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-to-show-hide-hidden-text-in-writer/80051/10
shows that others may be hit by that, too.
So the proposal is to de-emphasize somehow the freetext search, to be secondary
to Index search.
