Am I the only person that wishes that I could look for occurances of a
keyword via full text search of a windows .HLP file? The search
function in MS-Windows HELP is very weak.


Has anyone by chance written such an utility? Even if it's not a
complete replacement for the help engine it would be a nice accessory.

How does not make a suggestion like this to Microsoft ?
