I did indeed.

A related issue here: why can't SuSE install the htdig paths in the
distributed system?   Even though the help says that the locations are
distribution-dependent, surely SuSE knows what they are on their own system.

The Help Center itself says:

In the Scope frame you can select some typical resources you want to be
indexed, i.e. the KDE help files, and the information offered by the man and
info commands. Note that some of those may still be disabled, which means
that support for them has not been added yet.

Apparently, support for man pages is still missing.   Hence my quest for a
workaround.
