Bug Description

Ubuntu 7.04, all updates installed

1. Open Ubuntu's help viewer.
2. Do a search for anything.
3. Click the link "Repeat the search online at the Ubuntu Help Pages".

What should happen: A browser opens to an URL starting with http://search.ubuntu.com/help?os=ubuntu&ver=7.04&q=
What actually happens: A browser opens to an URL starting with http://search.ubuntu.com/help?os=ubuntu&ver=6.10&q=

(search.ubuntu.com not being responsive at the moment is bug 118730.)

Unless Ubuntu 7.04 is updated with a fix for this bug, when search.ubuntu.com is developed to return results appropriate to the Ubuntu version you want help with, it will not be able to tell the difference between 6.10 and 7.04. This would be bad.

I'm not running Gutsy, but I guess this link probably hasn't been updated for Gutsy either. Please do so, and establish either a process or code in yelp so that the link always includes the correct Ubuntu version.
