[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53006] GUI Documentation Browser displays Index chapters of manual poorly

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #69, bug #53006 (project octave):

@Torsten: I've tried what I think is the latest code in the repository
(default, merged from the stable branch), but get no response to pressing the
Search button of the query signal.

I do see this occur:


  void documentation::global_search (void)
  {
std::cerr << "GL SEARCH\n";
    QList<QHelpSearchQuery> queries
      = m_help_engine->searchEngine ()->queryWidget ()->query ();
    m_help_engine->searchEngine ()->search (queries);
  }


However, I don't understand the above use of QHelpSearchQuery passed via the
search () signal.  The searchEngine() is of type QHelpSearchEngine *.  But the
search() shown here:

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qhelpsearchengine.html#search

passes a QString, not a QList<QHelpSearchQuery> and QHelpSearchQuery 

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qhelpsearchquery.html

Doesn't seem to inherit a QString.

I haven't looked much beyond that.
