 They used a different implementation. In scilab 4 the search algorithm only
search in the commands and not in the text. The search algorithm now
searches the text and ranks the best searches according the most hits per
text.

One could argue about what is best method. If you know the exact name of
command off course the old search algorithm is best, but if you don't know
the exact command name than the text search is probably a better method. A
combined method would be better; ranking the searched command first and then
the text rankings.

I think they changed it again in Scilab 5.0.3

Hi!, I used Scilab 4.2.1 and the browser help work pretty good but on 5.0.X
versions the search retturns weirds results, for instance, just writing
"for" on the search section it returns nothing!, and writing "while" returns
the screenshot I attach.. This problem is on Windows and Linux. What's the
reason for this? Is there enything I can do to fix this "problem"

Thanks in advance
