with a one-line summary of what it does; to list the modules whose name
or summary contain a given string such as "spam", type "modules spam".

You are now leaving help and returning to the Python interpreter.
If you want to ask for help on a particular object directly from the
interpreter, you can type "help(object)". Executing "help('string')"
has the same effect as typing a particular string at the help> prompt.

Thanks for the report, but that’s not really a bug.

In python console interpreter, help() starts a sub-interpreter console, dedicated to help, in which you can type directly those commands.

In Blender's python console, this does not work, help() returns immediately (as you can see by last paragraph of its message). Same last message gives you the solution: Executing "help('string')" has the same effect as typing a particular string at the help> prompt.

help('modules')

…is the way to go in Blender...

Also, please seek user support on user forums like blenderartists.org or blender.stackexchange.com, not on the bug tracker.
