[Bug 50017] Re: yelp search doesn't do anything

[Don Scorgie]

Hey Joachim ;)

Still having trouble with search?  If so, can you try running Yelp from a command line and pasting any output here.  Is the system busy during the time when the search is happening?  Try running the system-monitor and seeing what the CPU load is (and whether it is Yelp eating the memory).  Also running it under gdb and seeing where it stalls would be a great help:
$ gdb yelp
(gdb) handle SIG33 nostop noprint pass
(gdb) run
Wait till it has searched for ~30 seconds or so
<ctrl>-c if needed to get to the gdb prompt and then:
(gdb) thread apply all bt

and paste the resulting stacktrace.

Thanks.
(Just FYI, basic searching on my machine takes ~ 5 seconds to run, depending on search terms and other loads, at least the Dapper version)
