Search documentation missing from help menu and Shortcut (F1) adds a leading semicolon

[h-spiess]

Mogan Version

1.2.3-rc3

Operating System Version and Architecture

macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71)

Describe Bug

The normal TeXmacs distribution allows to search the documentation from the help menu. This option is missing from Mogan.

The shortcut for searching the docs (F1) still "works", but a leading semicolon is added to every input making it essentially impossible to use.

See this image:

Expected Behavior

Search docs should be available from the help menu and shortcut use should not add a leading semicolon.

a leading semicolon is added to every input

It is a rendering error, does not affect the result.

This option is missing from Mogan.

In Mogan, documents are not shipped any more. They are shipped as remote docs. That's why the menu entry is removed.

Edit->Search recent documents will be available in Mogan v1.2.3, and previously, it is in the Help menu.

Thanks for the fast response. I thought the search was buggy because there were so few entries. But if the docs are removed this is expected. Any reason why the docs aren't shipped anymore? to safe storage space?

Any reason why the docs aren't shipped anymore?

1. Reduce the size of the installer
2. To solve the problem of outdated doc

Now the docs are served here: http://git.tmml.wiki/texmacs/doc

And in this way, we always ship the latest doc but not the outdated doc.

Thanks for reporting the issue, I will add more details here: https://mogan.app/guide/Mogan_versus_TeXmacs.html

I'm still wondering if it is expected that the search in documentation does not work as in the TeXmacs distribution. As an example, i was searching for "homoglpyh". Mogan does not find anything for this term, while TeXmacs does. You can see the screenshots.

TeXmacs 2.1.2

Mogan 1.2.4

Yes, it does not work.

Is it intended to bring the search functionality back?
