Search in Local Help by Sphinx not available

I thought I had an answer to why search wasn’t working - I needed to Re-boot, but I was wrong. The Search is only possible if you have internet. It won’t even search for subject titles.

Is this a design feature?

Xojo version?
Windows/Mac/Linux?

Maybe you are talking about this search (when I turn wifi off after opening local help):

it looks like that search needs the internet.

Yes. It is that search. Offline It cannot even search for subject headings.

You need to close the local help and reopen it again, that way you will have the limited local search function:

Oh. I thought I’d done that already. I’m getting just what I want and a little better. Not as good as with the internet, but still good.
