Helpviewer find function comment

The find function on Helpviewer does not seem to search
everywhere. e.g. OpenBIOS appears at least twice in the
text that can be displayed by the helpviewer, but “find” does
not find them.

Did you enable the Search Topic Text option? If you didn’t, you’d find the
text only if it appears in a heading in the docs.

I thought you might need to re-index, mine did after
adding the developement stuff.

But I could not re-index on a 32M machine

also tried slay’ing everything (io-net, devc-ser, -par), exit shelf,
unmount unneeded partitions - it got further, but still locked up hard

In this: http://qdn.qnx.com/support/bok/solution.qnx?9390 does
munlockall() persists across forks/execs? or can a parent process
munlockall() a childs memory?

write a swapable util (swapable helpviewer [args])?

Yes, text search was enabled.
Does your search turn up “openbios”?

re-indexing fixed it.

(Also have a 32M machine, also did not run 1st time, but
did not crash as yours did).
After slaying Xphoton & saver processes, the re-indexing
ran to completion.
