Pressing / in the :help menu doesn't work. It would be nice to support search there.

You can do :help PATTERN (or :help "PATTERN" for multi-word phrases).

Being able to search help with / would be a nice touch.

IIRC, the help table is generated differently than the task table, and I'm guessing it won't be trivial to integrate the search system into help.

It's not something I have any interest in writing, but would consider a PR for it if it was implemented cleanly.

It would be nice for this to be implemented together with #208 so that searching the help screen with / and also filtering with :help PATTERN respect ignorecase and smartcase and also :help \cPATTERN and :help \CPATTERN are possible to override this setting.
