That's a flaw in the help system that would be so easy to fix
if someone got around to it.  It's never obvious where to look
for the help, or to re-find something you've seen before; it
annoys me that you have to specify "search all libraries" on
practically every search.

And, having found some help, there's no way to browse through
nearby help pages, because you don't know where you are in the
help system.  I do that all the time with paper manuals; I've
never seen an on-line help system that comes anywhere near the
performance of a printed manual, but some sort of "browse
nearby articles" would be a big step forward.

There's a similar shortcoming in the desktop "Find" option.
It will find things for you (after a long time delay), but it
won't tell you where it found them.  It's a nuisance having to
open the Settings notebook for a found object, for no other
reason than to look up the file name.
