"Search" does not work in Help; no Index

Description
- in VirtualBox, press F1 to invoke Help, or use menu Help/Contents
- click tab "search"
- try to search for any word you know is present in the text, for example search for machine.
result: "No topics found"
Also, common expectation for a Help file is to have Index. VirtualBox does not have it.
So, for instance, when I tried to find out what is the difference between Detachable start and Headless start, I was not able to find it in Help, and had to look for the answer on internet. With search working, I would search for "detachable", and with Index, I would probably try to go to Start.
I specify importance as Major because without working Help, competent usage of the product becomes problematic.
