Description
If you try to search the reference in the "help" section it sais `No reference for ""`. The FAQ work though. I've tried the official download of the arduino binary for linux.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce this in the Arduino IDE 1.x on Linux by opening the Help section, using “Find in reference” with no text selected, and comparing the result with the FAQ search. Trace the entry point for that action; done means the empty-query error explains the situation clearly instead of showing `No reference for ""`.
