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

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #79, bug #53006 (project octave):

I can confirm that the .octave_interpreter/fts file is needed for full text
search to work correctly. I can also confirm that if the doc directory is not
writable by me, Octave works fine, but full text searching is non-functional,
all search results return failure.

Looking at the Qt code base I don't see an easy way to change this at the
moment, it looks hardcoded into the internals of QHelpSearchEngine (the
QHelpSearchIndexReader and QHelpSearchIndexWriter internal classes).

Looking at the Qt Assistant program itself, it might be that they have written
a separate implementation of QHelpSearchEngine for Qt Assistant that doesn't
use a search index database stored on disk.
