Assistance with Search Feature used in WebHelp output

Hi Friends,
I have a specific requirement. I am trying to copy and paste a few HTML files in the WebHelp output folder from an external source and display these topic in the final WebHelp output. I was successful in updating the TOC ; merged index entries and glosarry terms and definitions. The external topics appear in the WebHelp output. However, I am not able to understand how my topics can be included in the Search feature. As of now the Search option only searches for key words within the default project topics. How can I extend this search to HTML pages that I have manually copied within the WebHelp output folder?

Welcome to our community
I'm more than a bit confused here. Why are you manually copying the pages? It seems that you don't mind the pages living amongst the other WebHelp pages. So why not simply copy them into the project? That way they would be included in the search.
If for some reason that's undesirable, you might look into configuring ZoomSearch. Look at the link below for that.

  • Looking for a free app for secure note taking with search feature (unlimited)

    Hi dudes,
    As the topic suggests, I'm looking for a free app for secure note taking with search feature without any restriction on the number of notes or any other major restriction. I already use HiDisk (which lacks search feature), and security note+ (which has limitation on the number of notes). I also have used My Disk which its search feature doesn't work correctly (it's buggy).
    Thank you.

    One named NotePad is free, saves as .txt files.
    Another, WriterRoom, costs $1.99USD, and saves as .txt and .doc files.

  • Reading Adobe pdf (with search feature)

    Is there a way for me to read adobe pdf's on the iPhone? Anybody mind explaining the best way to do this?
    And if so, is there a way for me to use the Acrobat search feature that allows you to type in a word and cycle through them in the text?
    Thanks

    Hi thanks very much.
    Does anyone know if one of the apps in particular would allow for an acrobat-type ability to search (and enter a page number).
    I tried downloading a 19 MB file from my ftp (came down fine) but there does not appear to be an ability to store this file which means you have to re-download it every time you want to view it. It also seems like the OS gets stuck when you try to scroll over many pages.
    Anyone got suggestions as well as perhaps another support/news site that deals with this type of functionality?
    Thanks for any help.

  • Problem with multiple applications using one audio output

    Hey there, I'm having issues setting up my 5.1 headset seen here (http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/content/x-tatic-digital) to work with multiple applications.
    Right now I have audio streaming from a flash video, when I try run "$ speaker-test -c 6" I get the following error:
    speaker-test 1.0.25
    Playback device is default
    Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels
    Using 16 octaves of pink noise
    ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
    Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
    If I try open another application which uses this device, the first application has its sound cut off.
    2 more things to note:
    - My preference for setup would be audio output through S/PDIF and input through USB, with the USB output disabled (To not waste system resources).
    - I unmuted all channels in ALSA, however when I ran the test only 2 channels seemed to be working (Front L&R), it may have been defaulting to the USB connection, in which case, that explains only 2 channels being in use, is there a method of setting the S/PDIF as default system wide?
    Thanks in advance for any help given!

    brebs wrote:It's put the comments on multiple lines - fix that.
    Woops, I guess my paste messed up, new .asoundrc: http://pastie.org/3706033
    I can run both at the same time, however I cannot hear any audio. Do I somehow have to change the default device, if so how can I do that?
    Edit:
    Restarted system now I get:
    speaker-test 1.0.25
    Playback device is default
    Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
    Using 16 octaves of pink noise

    Using max buffer size 8192
    Periods = 4
    was set period_size = 1024
    was set buffer_size = 8192
    0 - Front Left
    Segmentation fault
    (That's with both commands)
    EDIT 2:
    Interesting, apparently 2 audio streams are working, however the console thing still doesn't work..?
    EDIT 3:
    Didn't last long, now flash crashes and html 5 doesn't work -.-
    EDIT 4:
    Flash only works when other audio is active, however it has constant popping sound. I went through the system logs to get the errors of when flash crashes, it's audio crashing it, here's the error:

  • Question about iMessage retrieval when messages are visible with "Search" feature

    Hello everyone,
    Today when I got off of work, I noticed that over 1,000 iMessages from my girlfriend had been deleted, dating as far back as when I purchased my iPhone 4 in June. Of course, I am in the process of freaking out, as we had some great conversations in there that I would like to save. The last time I backed up my iPhone was in September.
    The thing is, when I search for her name with the iPhone "Search" function, all of those conversations appear as if they should be in the iMessage list, but they are not. Is there anyway for me to exploit this and restore these iMessages onto my phone?
    I'm an Air Force pilot in Texas and don't get to see her much, so I would love to be able to save these messages. I also went to school for electrical engineering, and I'm stumped.
    tl;dr iMessages accidentally deleted but still appear in the iPhone "Search" function - is there anyway to restore them?

    Unfortunately, not that I'm aware of.  The cached data you are seeing in Spotlight search is separate from the messages data on your phone, and you can't restore from one to the other.
    Messages are, however, included in the iPhone backup (whether done with iTunes or iCloud).  If these messages were on your phone when you last backed up, restoring to the entire backup should recover them.

  • Can't add program with Install feature using Palm 6.2, Vista SP1 and LifeDrive

    Hi,
    I am trying to add FileZ to my Palm. I click Install from the sidebar of the desktop, then Add and point to the filez.prc file. However I get a message saying the file cannot be copied. The tool the installer is using to do this is the QuckInstall tool. Should I be using another tool? I've heard QuickInstall doesn't work with 6.2.
    Thanks,

    You are correct in what you heard, monk66 - Quick Install does not work in version 6.2.
    6.2 uses it's own "Installation Tool" to put files into the Hotsync queue.  You can find it in two places.
    1. Right click on the HotSync Manager icon and choose "Install".
    2. Start Button/All Programs/Palm/Install Tool.

  • Oracle Help search feature doesn't work with RoboHelp generated output

    I am using RoboHelp HTML, Version 10 on Windows 7.  I am able to generate Oracle Help output and integrate it with my Java application.  When I do this, the Content and Index tabs work fine, but the Search feature does not. Regardless of what search term I try, I get no search results.  In generating the Oracle Help output, I used the default options throughout.
    Any suggestions as to what is causing this problem?
    Thanks.

    Dear Peter,
    I met the following problem, and please help me.
    My English (not Chinese) operating system: Windows XP
    Version: 2002
    Before using RoboHelp 7 to generate Webhelp, I perform the
    following steps:
    1. Control Panel->Regional Options
    2. On the "Languages" page make sure make sure you check the
    box "Install files for East Asian languages".
    3. On the "Advanced" page select "Chinese" from the language
    dropdown list.
    Then I perform the following steps:
    1. Use RoboHelp 7 to generate Webhelp (my Webhelp project
    contains localized Chinese files).
    2. In the "Search" tab, input a Chinese character(For example
    "连接") and perform a seach.
    Result: Serching...(or 正在搜索) or
    No topics found (or
    未找到主题)。
    Expected result: I can get the result.

  • Fix for WebHelp output issues with IE 11 breaks Search function

    I use RoboHelp HTML 9 and have been having issues with generated WebHelp in IE 11. The TOC was totally blank and the Search tab looked fine but did not function. Everything worked fine in Firefox. After much experimenting and online research in these forums and elsewhere, I have been able to get the TOC to display properly in IE 11 (and Firefox) but the fix has caused the Search tab to stop functioning as per this other forum post RH9 Webhelp Search function is not working properly.
    I need to have BOTH TOC and Search displayed and functioning properly but in order to get the TOC displayed properly I had to change the Preferred Format setting to "Pure HTML" and, according to the post mentioned above, that is what messes up the Search function. Is there a solution that will allow both TOC and Search to function properly?
    Here is a summary of the steps I have taken to get to this point:
    Tested WebHelp output from two different projects of my own as well as the Salesbuilder starter project - all would display/function properly in Firefox but not in IE 11 (blank TOC and non-functioning Search).
    Found a "patch" for RH10 for the exact problem I was having with RH9 but was not able to find a version for RH9. Since the patch included 2 files (whutils.js and whver.js) only, I backed up these files in the RoboHTML\WebHelp5Ext\template_stock directory and replaced them with the new ones.
    Regenerated one of my RoboHelp projects - still didn't work in IE 11 and now didn't work in Firefox either!
    Tried turning on Mark of the Web but this did not help and would not allow opening PDF's which is necessary to one of the projects so I turned it off again.
    Changed Preferred Format setting to "Pure HTML" instead of "DHTML" and the TOC displayed and functioned properly in IE 11 and Firefox! Hurray!!
    Celebrated for 10 seconds until I clicked on Search tab and saw the input box filled with letters of the alphabet with other random letters, words, numbers below. It looks almost like an index but neither of my projects uses an index and I have not generated one in either project.
    Found the post mentioned above which states that the solution is to change the Preferred Format setting back to DHTML but when I do that I am back to blank TOC and proper-looking but non-functioning Search!!!
    I have now removed the Search tab from the output of one of the projects since it is not really necessary but I need to find a fix for this for my other project.
    Both of my projects are run locally - one is release documentation that is distributed on a CD and the other is CSH which is loaded on the local server with the software for which it was created.
    Dorothy
    Note to Administrators: Sorry, but I originally posted this as a reply to a previous post - Contents, Index, & Search do not display in generated help... - so perhaps it should be removed from that thread to avoid confusion.

    The "preliminary" fix provided has worked perfectly! All versions of my WebHelp project now display TOC properly and I was able to change the Preferred Format setting back to DHTML so the Search tab both displays and functions as it should. I am very grateful to William for providing this fix which works in both IE 11 and Firefox. Someday I will pursue the fixes to make it work in Chrome as well.

  • Mavericks Spotlight is Horrible -- I have to use my Windows 7 PC to find files that my MacAir with Mavericks cannot find -- what has happened to the famous Mac search feature?  It is almost useless!

    Why does Mavericks Spotlight not find files named, for example, Ono et al 2009, PNAS, 106(35), 14745-14750 - annotated when I use Ono as the search word.  I can find the file using the search feature on my Windows 7 PC.  Is there a way to change the perferences in Spotlight so it finds all file names if one searchers on a word in the file name?  When I enter Ono in the Spotlight search box I get OnOff Switch slider, a list of files in which the Ono paper is referenced, and a Ono Yoko!  But it does not find the 6 or so PDF files on the Computer with Ono and the primary author in the file name!  Spotlight is almost useless.

  • Using Multiple Conditional Tags with Multiple WebHelp Outputs

    I have a project that I have created for a web application. Within the web application, there are 3 types of customers (Commercial Accts, National Accts, and Tier 1 Customers).

    Then, I created 3 webhelp outputs and 3 TOCs for each customer type.

  • Search tab malfunction in RoboHelp 8 (WebHelp output)

    I am trying to create a WebHelp output after importing a Word doc into RobobHelp HTML 8.  Once I generate WebHelp as the primary layout, the TOC and Index tabs work fine.  However, the Search tab isn't working: Regardless of the key word I use in my  search, the only result I get is a link to the imported doc (which imports as a single topic).  This isn't a helpful Search function at all.  What am I missing?

  • FlashPro Output  - Search Feature

    I am using RHv6, my output is FlashPro, I was wondering if
    there was a simple way to change the outcome of searches. I located
    a article that stated if the whfhost.js file was changed with one
    line of code var rg = new RegExp(gsCW,"ig"); that the results would
    be that the most likely topic would appear at top and not in Alpha
    form.
    Does anyone know besides using Zoomsearch, to modify a .js
    file to change the outcome of the search feature. What would be
    perfect is if the person has drilled down to a specific topic and
    then uses the search, it only searches within that particular topic
    folder.
    Thank you for your help

    Welcome to our community, Cliff
    With the FlashHelp Pro output, you should be publishing to
    the RoboHelp Server. No JavaScript should be involved in the
    searching, thus nothing you may really tweak with respect to that.
    All the searching functionality is handled at the server end AFAIK.
    Cheers... Rick

  • WebHelp: opening a topic with search results highlighted

    Hello! I am using an external search engine to index a large documentation set, including some WebHelp output. I would like for the returned results to open matching WebHelp topics with the matching search terms highlighted. Is there a supported URL pattern for this, or does anyone in this forum have experience using additional JavaScript to do this? I'm happy to code it into a master page, but recommendations for a good starting JS library would be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Jason

    It will depend entirely on the search engine you use. I have used ZoomSearch and what you want can be set up there using code provided by ZoomSearch. You will need to approach whoever supplied your engine.

  • RoboHelp 10 WebHelp search feature not working?

    Hi all,
    I am using the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 4 and cannot get RoboHelp 10 to generate a WebHelp product with search capabilities.
    I have created a RoboHelp 10 WebHelp project and imported FrameMaker 11 files.
    Everything seems okay, but when I search in Internet Explorer 10, nothing happens.  I can even be on the same page as a term and enter the term in the box,
    but then nothing happenns. I also tried:  Opera, Firefox, Chrome and Safari browsers and still no results in the WebHelp search results.
    Actually, I get one word by default and that word is:  "null".
    Any idea on what is causing this?  I have a deliverable due soon, and I need to get this search capability working.
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
    I am using the latest patch too - RoboHelp 10.0.0.287
    Regards,
    Jim

    Hi Jeff,
    Thanks for the reply.  I am not sure if it is Java, although I did download Java to make sure I had the latest update.  I am running on a Windows 7 64 Bit Dell Laptop with Adobe TCS 4.
    I just saw a different post - but related to this post on the topic and I think it has to do something with the XML files that are created during the normal generation process.
    I have a feeling that there is something wrong with my XML files and the reason I say that is because I can generate one of the sample RoboHelp projects to WebHelp and then use IE 10 to search and the results
    come up right away, but when I do a WebHelp generate on my project the search does not work.
    Here is that related thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/798369
    Search Error: Failed to initialize database
    Mar 1, 2011 12:33 PM
    That thread dealt with RoboHelp 8 and I am using RoboHelp 10, but I think the problem is probably the same.
    My questions are as follows:
    I have a customer deliverable on Monday with several hundred files and a search mechanism that does not work at all.  Can I copy the search mechanism from the sample project and then put it into my project?
    Are the XML files generic or specific to each project?
    How many XML, Javascript and other RoboHelp type files are used to make the search functionality work?  I was thinking of populating one of those sample files, that has already been started with my files to see if that would get things going in the right direction - with the idea of removing all the sample files from that project and replacing them with my files, but, I have over 400 files, including references to foldout drawings and vendor manuals (baggage files) and it would probably take too much time to make that happen.
    With that said, if you or anyone else has ideas on how I could get this search engine working, I would really, really appreciate it.
    My current file structure is like this:
    Main Project Folder
        !ScreenLayout
        My Project File1
        My Project File2
        My Project File3
        resource
        whdata
        whgdata
        whxdata
        Frnt_Cov.htm
        Frnt_Cov_csh.htm
        Frnt_Cov_rhc.htm
        All RoboHelp graphics, javascripts and .htm files
    There does NOT seem to these folders that are in the sample:
    !Language!
    !SkinSubFolder!
    !SSL!
    The !ScreenLayout! folder is the only one present.  Does this have anything to do with only having MultiScreen HTML5 and WebHelp (Primary Layout) for my project settings?
    Again the most notable difference I see, is between the folders NOT included in my project (!Language!, !SkinSubFolder! and !SSL!).  I am not sure why these folders are not included in WebHelp.
    Thanks for taking the time to read this, as well as for any suggestions that can be offered.  I really need to get the search feature working by tomorrow.
    Regards,
    Jim
