Finally, examining the source code, I found the problem. I
have my vim documentation installed in /usr/doc, which is
where all documentation is installed on my system. I've
set "helpfile" so ":help" finds the docs. BUT ":helpgrep"
doesn't use "helpfile", but only "runtimepath/doc". This
is a problem for me, because no matter which value I
assign to "runtimepath", the documentation is not going to
be found in any "/doc" subdir!
If that's the case, you could add the path to vimruntime.
That won't work, because docs are not in /usr/doc/vim/doc, but in
/usr/doc/vim. Otherwise it would work. On my system, documentation is
under /usr/share/doc/<packagename> (the "share" part is variable, since
I maintain two different systems, one with "shareable" data and other
withouth "share").
Thanks a lot for the suggestion :)

Well, you could, rather than setting 'helpfile', use the following then (in
your friendly *sh shell):
cd /usr/share/vim/vim70
ln -sv ../../doc/vim doc
Or else (the next time you install everything) use "make install" with default
paths (i.e. /usr/local/vim/vim70 and /usr/local/vim/vim70/doc), and use, if
you want it,
cd /usr/local/share/vim
ln -sv vim70 latest
cd /usr/doc
ln -sv ../local/share/vim/latest/doc vim
You could even leave everything as-is, and use
cd /usr/doc/vim
ln -sv . doc
to make /usr/doc/vim/doc synonymous with /usr/doc/vim. Soft links are powerful!
Best regards,
Tony.
