Search bar does not open in Help->Documentation about documentation HOT 4 CLOSED

Some explanations are required:

The documentation section of http://raspberrypi.org is (nearly) automatically generated from the markdown on Github, hosted in raspberrypi/documentation.

The content for the documentation (which is vetted for technical accuracy via the pull request/merge process) is hosted in this repository. Modifications to the content should be made here.

What you are describing is a website issue - please see this thread and post feedback there:

The search bar is supposed to open on the doumentation (there is some JS missing that will allow this) but I think it could be confusing to have search there because it wouldn't actually search the documentation. Unless I can find a way we can search the documentation (perhaps just point the search query at github?) I may remove search from here.

If you're okay with using Google, something like https://www.google.co.uk/#q=site%3Araspberrypi.org%2Fdocumentation+VNC could work?

Good idea. I do that (embedded) on Pi Weekly: http://piweekly.net/search
