I think it happened after I upgraded to KDE3.4.1 - all from RPM binaries, not compiled from sources. Also I don't think I have excluded help docs, since I can browse them, just not possible to search them - ie the docs are there, but something has gone wrong with getting them indexed for searching.

Hey Bogus,

I experienced a like issue with KDE-3.4.2-r2 on Gentoo-2005.1,but I beleive the issue was/is related to < USE="-doc[...]" > which excludes Help Documentation at compilation. While this created smaller binaries and used less space, it also did exactly what it was supposed to-- exclude help docs.
Did you compile KDE by hand?
Also, did this happen after an upgrade or any other dramatic change to your box?

Not sure if this is a KDE or a SUSE problem, but when I start the Help
Centre from KDE3.4.1 with Suse 9.2, I can browse through the help files,
using the "contents" tab in the left hand pane. When I want to search
through the help files, however, by changing to the "Seach" tab, the
[Search] button is greyed out. I have the option of pressing a [Build
Search Index] button at the bottom of the left hand pane, but this
brings up a dialog which should contain a list of documents and a
"status" (to say if an index exists or not I think). But the list is
empty and the [Build Index] button is greyed out. How do I populate this
list and build a search index for my help files? I'm sure this worked
before but cannot say exactly when the index got lost. Possibly when I
installed KDE3.4...

I can change the Index Folder in this dialog and have tried various
existing folders that I thought might be logical messing this this does
not activate the [Build Index] button.

Thanks

Bogus

The issue may have more to do with the fact that KDE-4.1 is bleeding edge and bound to have some serious bugs. You may consider sending a bug report.
