Making Yelp Even More Inclusive

[Tommy Trussell]

Greetings -- I apologize that I have not been as active with Ubuntu
documentation as I had hoped, but I am hopeful it will change! If this
list is NOT the right place to post my comment, please point me the
right way.

I want to start out by saying that I have been using Dapper on a test
machine and am VERY impressed with the yelp / Help that comes up. It's
already more useful and inclusive than under Breezy, and apparently
getting better all the time. I really appreciate having a search box,
too, though I think its scope may need to be expanded to include more
areas...

Here are two examples of things already installed on my hard drive I
might be seeking but are NOT yet in yelp:

1) xsane docs in /usr/share/doc/xsane/html/sane-xsane-doc.html

2) imagemagick docs in /usr/share/doc/imagemagick/index.html

I gave those two examples deliberately -- (1) xsane I believe is part
of an "ordinary" Ubuntu installation, and (2) imagemagick I believe is
an optional install (though anyone using any level of graphics
probably adds it VERY soon!).

I was disappointed that typing ImageMagick in the yelp search box does
not even bring up its man page in yelp, nor do most of the ImageMagick
commands (animate and conjure do but the others don't seem to). I have
a lot to learn to know how the yelp index(es) get generated, but
obviously they don't look in man-db in the same way that (the command
line) apropos command does.

Are these things that are planned for the Yelp index / search box?
Should I file a bug, or have I missed a whole discussion about this
(very likely)?
