I never saw that search pane. It's not mentioned in WIKIHELP

@Martin Steiger:
Please contribute more information concerning your help search function. May be it's an extension?
Comment 3 Martin Steiger 2011-12-17 09:36:42 UTC 
Menu search is a default Mac OS X feature. The English localization of LibreOffice supports menu search as shown in my attached screenshot. The German localization does not, however, that is a common problem, NeoOffice had the same issue (but fixed it).

[NSApplication setHelpMenu:(NSMenu *)helpMenu] might be the relevant selector:

Since menu search is already available in some (at least in the English) localization of LibreOffice, there is probably not much of a change in the source code necessary.

Added to our special Mac meta bug 42082.

Does not work with Turkish localization either. 

OS X 10.7.5 LO 3.6.2.2.

Changed the bug title to represent a more general view.
Comment 9 Thorsten Behrens 2013-09-12 16:14:43 UTC 
Apologies for not having gotten around fixing this bug yet; unfortunately in future I'll have even less time at my disposal for this, so I'm freeing up ownership for other volunteers to take over.

@Nicholas,

If you have any free time, could you please take a look at this issue? This seems like a rather easy issue, considering that the functionality is already available in English localisations. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
