Bug#406421: yelp: should not search the entire help database

[Michael Gilbert]

Package: yelp
Version: 2.14.3-1
Severity: normal

when i use yelp for a particular application, i am only interested in
the help for that appliaction.  however, if i use the search field, yelp
will search what looks to be the whole gnome help database.  search
should be limited to the application page i am looking at.

perhaps there could be a link on the search results page that says
something like "search elsewhere" that will look through the entire
gnome help database.

thank you for your consideration.
