In that case, why bother with the chmhelppkg in the first place? What
you are describing, is exactly what I do with the "docview integration
via External Tools menu item". I use the current token macro from the
IDE, and pass that to DocView as a search parameter, which then does
the search across all INF files.

>From all the discussions in this mailing list, my solution seems much
more accurate (in terms of search results) than letting the IDE do the
searching. This was my experience ages ago too - hence I never
bothered created a "docview help package for lazarus".
