On your local machine, the mentioned files are contained in a
file called omni.ja inside your SM application directory. If you
copy it somewhere else and rename it to omni.zip, Windows should
be able to open it (other tools like current stable 7zip cannot,
though). Inside it, the path is
chrome\en-US\locale\en-US\communicator\help.
How do words be come targets for the search function?
AFAICT anything in the mentioned RDF files that's inside an
nc:name attribute gets added as a possible target. I didn't
actually check the code, though.
What can I download to create a local testbed?
For actual development you'd need a (minimal) copy of the source
code. For starters:
1. Download and install
<http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/libraries/win32/MozillaBuildSetup-Latest.exe>
2. Launch MozillaBuild command line
3. Enter "hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/"; (without
quotes) and hit Enter
4. Enter "explorer comm-central" (again without quotes) and hit
Enter
5. Navigate to suite\locales\en-US\chrome\common\help.
Or does practicality indicate I should confine myself to the
individual
xhtml files above?
Back in the days before omni.ja I would have advised you to just
change the files of the local installation for testing purposes.
But since omni.ja is not a proper ZIP file, that's not a method I
would still recommend. However, if you're a little adventureous,
you may give it a try - only on a complete, independent copy of
your SM application directory of course. I recommend to use a
test profile with that and start SM with parameters -P
-purgecaches (show Profile Manager; skip application file caching).

Thank you. As I'm on dialup, it will have to wait until I get to
the library to use their high speed connection.
