-        <li>On systems such as Debian Stable which use Evince version
-          2.x (not 3.x) as PDF viewer, the default "Open" command for
-          PDF files will not work. You need to edit the command:
-          in <em>Preferences->GUI&nbsp;configuration</em>,
-          uncheck <em>Use&nbsp;desktop&nbsp;preferences...</em>, then
-          click <em>Choose&nbsp;editor&nbsp;applications</em>, and for
-          application/pdf, application/postscript and text/dvi, change
-          the --page-index option to --page-label. Then
-          re-check <em>Use&nbsp;desktop&nbsp;preferences...</em> if
-          it was initially set.</li>
+        <li>It's possible to add an external index with a

+        <li>When an advanced search finds no result, the spelling
