+>At the time of writing, for most installations of &kde; the entire search engine function in &khelpcenter; is disabled, and settings made in this &kcontrol; module will have no effect. We hope to have it back in a future release.</para
+></note>
+
+<para
+>&kde; comes with a lot of documentation for applications and components. While it is possible to just browse the manuals until you find that piece of information you're looking for, this may be a very time-consuming task. To make this easier for you, &kde; offers fulltext search using a program called <application
+>ht://dig</application
+>. It works quite similar to search engines on the web, in fact some search engines you now might even use it. Just click on the <guilabel
+>Search</guilabel
+> tab in the &khelpcenter;, enter the word you are looking for, click <guibutton
+>Search</guibutton
+> and enjoy!</para>
+
+<para
+>However, to make use of this feature, <application
+>ht://dig</application
+> has to be installed on your system and &kde; has to be configured to make us of it. This control module tries to help you doing the latter. If you haven't installed <application
+>ht://dig</application
+> and it wasn't shipped with your operating system you have to get ht://dig yourself. Have a look at <ulink url="http://www.htdig.org"
+>the ht://dig homepage</ulink
+> on how to download and install it.</para>
+
+<para
+>When you first start, you are in display mode only. To modify your settings, click on <guibutton
+>Administrator Mode</guibutton
+>. If you are logged in as <systemitem class="username"
+>root</systemitem
+>, you will go straight to the change dialogue. If not, &kde; will ask for a superuser password.</para>

+<title
+>Use</title
+>
+
+<para
+>There are two important things to tell &kde; so it can make use of the fulltext search engine:</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem
+><para
+>where to find the <application
+>ht://dig</application
+> programs KDE uses for fulltext search</para
+></listitem>

+<sect3 id="help-index-use-progs">
+
+<title
+>The <application
+>ht://dig</application
+> Programs</title>
+
+<para
+>There are three programs &kde; needs that come with <application
+>ht://dig</application
+>: <command
+>htdig</command
+>, <command
+>htsearch</command
+> and <command
+>htmerge</command
+>. For each program you have to provide the full path including the program name, for example: <filename class="directory"
+>/usr/bin/htdig</filename
+>.</para
+>
+
+<para
+>Where exactly these programs are installed depends on your operating system or your distribution. However, there are some good guesses you might want to try:</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+
+<listitem
+><para
+><command
+>htdig</command
+> and <command
+>htmerge</command
+> are often found in <filename class="directory"
+>/usr/bin/</filename
+> or in something like <filename class="directory"
+>/usr/local/www/htdig/bin/</filename
+>.</para
+></listitem>
+
+<listitem
+><para
+>the <command
+>htsearch</command
+> command is often found in a sub folder called <filename class="directory"
+>cgi-bin</filename
+>, for example <filename class="directory"
+>/usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin/</filename
+>.</para>
+
+</listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<tip
+><para
+>To find out where for example <command
+>htdig</command
+> is installed you can always type <command
+>whereis htdig</command
+> on the console. <command
+>whereis</command
+> will look for the specified command in the standard execution path folders. However, folders like <filename class="directory"
+>cgi-bin</filename
+> are often not in the standard execution path.</para

+>Scope and Search Paths</title>
+
+<para
+>In this section you can choose which help resources should be indexed, &ie; made available to the search engine.</para>
+
+<para
+>In the <guilabel
+>Scope</guilabel
+> frame you can select some typical resources you want to be indexed, &ie; the &kde; help files, and the information offered by the <command
+>man</command
+> and <command
+>info</command
+> commands. Note that some of those may still be disabled, which means that support for them has not been added yet.</para>
+
+<para
+>Maybe you have additional files you want to access using the &khelpcenter; fulltext search feature. For example, you might have an <acronym
+>HTML</acronym
+> reference installed in <filename
+>/home/jdoe/docs/selfhtml</filename
+>. By adding this path to the list of additional search paths you make this documentation available to &khelpcenter;'s fulltext search, too. Just click on the <guibutton
+>Add</guibutton
+> button and a file dialogue will ask you for an additional search folder. Select <filename class="directory"
+>/home/jdoe/docs/selfhtml</filename
+> and click <guibutton
+>OK</guibutton
+>. To remove an additional search path, just select it and click <guibutton
+>Delete</guibutton
