OK, thanks for investigating.

This is definitely something that needs more testing, so we could
think about a solution after the next release.

No problem!  Thanks again for looking into the issue – I would be glad
if you could eventually implement a fix, but this is no longer urgent.
For the moment, I will add a sentence that the search field doesn't
work for locally installed documentation.

Hello Suzuki,

I was wondering if I could tweak the timeline a little bit? I will follow
it as much as I can, but just in case I am running late or early.
And is there a set of tools I should use. I mostly use Visual Studio on
Windows 10 for development but if there is something else I should use,
please let me know so that I can learn that in the meantime.

Thanks,
Anuj

Please don't mind about the timezone difference, and please keep your best 
timezone.
Both of your mentors (I and Alexei) are living in different timezone,
and even if you could follow my timezone, it does not guarantee the 
minimization of
the delay in the communication (the mentors are not full-time worker for 
FreeType).

Does your computer have sufficient storage to install "Windows Subsystem for
Linux" ?
There are many FreeType developers working with Unix-like systems, so having an
access
to some GNU/Linux system (no need to stick to WSL. some virtual machine, some
separated
machine etc would work) would be good.

BTW, if your daily development is Visual Studio, how do you build FreeType on
your system?
Do you use existing project file in the source tree? Or, do you use CMake?

mpsuzuki

I just recalled this guide that Armin and Werner wrote a year ago and it
