If the topic does not exist, or if multiple terms are provided, then run the `help-search` command to find a match. Note that, if `help-search` finds a single subject, then it will run `help` on that topic, so unique matches are equivalent to specifying a topic name. ### Configuration #### viewer * Default: "man" on Posix, "browser" on Windows * Type: path The program to use to view help content.
