KDE help searches produce garbage.

When I try to use KDE help to search for something, I get meaningless
drivel back.

khc_htsearch.pl --indexdir=/home/pbw/.kde/share/apps/khelpcenter/index/
--config=book_opensuse_startupen --words=autostart --method=and
--maxnum=5 --lang=en

Appears in every section, and I get no actual results. I have built and
rebuilt the index.

Can you give an exact example of something you searched for and came up with
zilch? Perhaps there is no help for that or you haven't installed all of
the manuals and docs available. I think the repositories have literally a
hundred encyclopedias worth of help. Most programs have their own help and
doc files but for some reason are not picked up by the help index. They
are usually found stuck somewhere in the /usr directory.

If you have installed PIN then you can see where all the files including
help and docs are place for every application or utility.
