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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

problem<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>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"<BR><BR>Thanks in
advance<BR><BR>Alfredo Jaramillo Palma<BR>Estudiante Ingeniería
