Why doesn't affinity photo 2.5 help panel work?

If I use 1 word brings back tons of response, 2 words - nada.

You misspelled the word apply as appy. It's a very basic search feature and can't handle misspellings.

1. Also when I do search free PDF manual for Affinity Publisher 2.5 I get way too many responses. Any way to narrow the search parameters?
2. And is there an easy way to go back and and forward on pages (not with search)? No Acrobat.
3. Is "apply color" what I what to pull in swatches from another AP and apply them to a current image?

Search: It's a PDF so it depends on your PDF Viewer. If you're using macOS you are likely using Apple Preview. I suggest using the index rather than searching it.

Go back and forward pages: If you have an extended keyboard and are using Apple Preview, you can use the Page Up and Down Keys. If you don't have an extended keyboard, press Fn (Globe) Up/Down Arrow.

I'll leave the colour question to somebody else as I'm unsure what you mean.

In case you weren't aware of it, there's an online version of Affinity Photo 2.5 Help that I prefer to use.  That way I can bookmark the help pages I may want to refer back to once in a while.
