            Bug ID: 157114
           Summary: The popup "Search Commands" should also search by
                    submenu (such as Align Text, Track Changes)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.5.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Description:
Currently, the popup "Search Commands" only search by menu item. For example,
searching for "right" yields "Format / Align Text / Right", but searching for
"align" yields nothing.

I propose that it should also search by sub-menu (such as "Align Text"). This
makes it easier to discover related actions in the same sub-menu. For example,
the user may search for "align" to see all available align options (left,
centered, right).

The same applies to sub-menu "Track Changes". The user who wants to turn on
Track Changes function, but doesn't know the exact name of the command
("Record"). The user may try to search for "track" or "change". This
improvement can show all commands in sub-menu "Track Changes".


Steps to Reproduce:
1. select "Search Commands" in menu "Help"
2. type "align" into the input box


Actual Results:
no command was found

Expected Results:
result should includes items in sub-menu "Align Text":
- Format / Align Text / Left
- Format / Align Text / Centered
- Format / Align Text / Right
- Format / Align Text / Justified


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I tracked down the code in sfx2/source/commandpopup/CommandPopup.cxx and
function MenuContentHandler::findInMenu. This looks like an EasyHack for me to
start contribute to LibreOffice.
