Missing: Search Tab

I'm trying to output a project into a CHM file using RoboHelp 8, and the resulting output completely lacks a Search tab. It's got a Contents tab, an Index tab, and that's it. (The project doesn't have a glossary, so the lack of glossary is no big surprise.) I searched through the forums, and the closest problems I saw were from people whose search tabs "didn't work." However, the fix in that situation (re-registering some DLL files), didn't work for me. I'm hoping someone out there has some insight into how to find a missing search tab. Thanks!

Hi Shawn
Sorry, but I'm unfamiliar with Frame at this stage of the game. I think the placeholders come into play here. So you may need to experiment with inserting those.
When you create output from RoboHelp, you are able to choose the specific Index you wish to include in the output. Have you ensured you have done this? Additionally, I do believe that for a merged CHM setup a couple of things have to be in place for the index to show.
The master project has to have at lest one keyword defined and mapped to a topic
The index must be configured as Binary
To add a keyword to the master you will need to display the Index Designer pod. Unfortunately it's not straightforward. You do it by expanding the Index pseudo-folder in the Project Manager pod. Then double-click the index listed.
Now you add a term to the index.
From here you ensure Binary is enabled. Click File > Project Settings...
Then when you generate output, ensure you are pointing at the right index.

Search Tab Goes Missing from the Left-hand Menu

Hi, I am using Spotify version 3.1.0.1117 in my trusty Toshiba Thrive (AT100) that runs Android version 4.0.4. I think it has just updated to the latest Spotify version and I notice that after initialising, the Search tab would go missing from the left-hand menu after browsing my playlists and not come back. The tab lists would start from Browse, and so on. Anybody else having similar problem? Any help is kindly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The triangle next to the main Playlists folder is pointing down.
I set up a subfolder for a few streaming radio stations. The missing (and non-missing) playlists have not been put into a subfolder. They are all smart playlists (I don't know if that makes a difference).
I have the latest Itunes. Should I try re-installing?

My Search Tab is missing, back arrow, Tools etc...How do I get those back?

My Firefox Search tab doesn't give me a place to type, my back arrow, refresh and home buttons are missing as well. TOOLS, VIEW etc are missing. How do I get that back?

ITunes on my iPod Touch is missing some tabs

Can somebody help me?
I have:
+ iPod Touch 4th Generation 32GB
+ Wi-fi connection
+ iOS5 installed
iTunes on my iPod Touch is missing some tabs. The only tabs that's showing on my iTunes are Podcast, iTunes U, Search and Downloads
Also, whenever I try to load un Podcast tab, it ALWAYS say Your request could not be completed.
Thank you very much!

Where exactly are the tabs that are showing, are they a list at the bottom of the page and next to it is the "More" option, or are you referring to the options on the More tab? You can move these options between the bottom of the page and the More section.
Is that the problem, or is there something else missing? (Perhaps it would have helped if you had mentioned what is missing). If it's the Apps section you are looking for, it has its own App button on the Home screen.
As for the problem with downloading Podcasts, I would try getting them in iTunes on your computer if you cannot download them via the Touch's Wi-Fi.

Topics with ampersands (&) show up as question marks (?) inside Help's Search tab

See the attached image.
In the image:
Item A shows the Topic Title inside RH.
Item B shows what I'm typing in the Search tab of the HTML Help file. (I'm typing "GD&T").
Item C shows the list results. Notice that when I type "GD&T" in the search tab, the results return "GD?" ion the list of results.
In short the "T" is missing and the ampersand character shows a question mark character instead.
How can I get it to show an ampersand in this list and not delete the letter following the ampersand.
Thanks in advance,
Jared
Latest RH7
Vista 32 bit.

Some co-workers of mine eventually helped fix this.
In the Topic Title field for topic titles that have the & symbol, you need to type & in place of just an & symbol. This causes the & to appear within the Search tab list results. Note however that if you add this topic onto the Table of Contents, it will display & there, so you will need to rename the TOC to just use &.

How to hide fields in BP search tab of CIC Winclient ????

Hi All,
      In IC winclient my requirement was to hide the IBase fields from BP search tab. I have done that by changing the html file in SMW0 and assigning it in profiles for search strategies.
But, now when I search for BP in CIC0 it doesnt get searched. I mean after search, the result fields dont get filled with any data. If I revert my changes everything works properly.
Are there any other changes required to be done ????
Am I missing some step(s) in between ??
Any suggestions would be of great help !!!!
Regards,
Ashish

Hi Anirban,
       That is exactly the code I have deleted.
I have carried out the following steps :-
1) Copied HTML obj. - CRM_CIC_EMP_SEARCH to ZASH_BPSEARCH. Deleted exactly the code you've specified.
2) In define profiles for search strategies
- Copied ISM_BPSEARCH to ZASH_BPSEARCH
- Copied CRM_ISM_SUBCREATE2 to ZASH_CRM_ISM_SUBCREATE2
- In search attributes->General tab-> Changed HTML for BP Search to ZASH_BPSEARCH.
3) In Customer specific system modi->Define customer specific search control-> Copied the following entries
O_ISM_BPSEARCH     CCMIBCOMPFIELDS     DESCR     X
O_ISM_BPSEARCH     CCMIBCOMPFIELDS     DEVICEID     X
O_ISM_BPSEARCH     CCMIBCOMPFIELDS     GUID_COMPC
O_ISM_BPSEARCH     CCMIBCOMPFIELDS     IBASE
O_ISM_BPSEARCH     CCMIBCOMPFIELDS     INSTANCE     X
O_ISM_BPSEARCH     CCMIBCOMPFIELDS     OBJECT_FAMILY     X
O_ISM_BPSEARCH     CCMIBCOMPFIELDS     OBJECT_ID     X
O_ISM_BPSEARCH     CCMIBCOMPFIELDS     PRODUCT_ID     X
and changed O_ISM_BPSEARCH to ZASH_BPSEARCH and removed the X flag from all entries
4) In define IC winclient profile
CONTACT_SEARCH_CONFIGURATION = ZASH_BPSEARCH

Search Tab in WebHelp Not Displaying Any Topics

Let me preface this thread by saying that I JUST figured out the answer to my own problem. I tried to post this thread about 2 hours ago, but the forum was having issues...I got unexpected errors, and such. Although I figured out the answer a moment ago, I wanted to post the thread anyway, in case others come across the same problem, they will know how to fix it.
The Search tab in WebHelp doesn't work. No matter what I do, no topics will display when I enter search terms that I *know* are in the Help system. I have another project on the same computer, and the Search tab in that project works fine. I tried to attach screenshots, but keep getting an "unexpected error," so I gave up. But basically, if I enter a search term and click Go, "No topics found" displays.
When the WebHelp is being generated for this project, the following displays in the Output View:
"Processing Full-text-search data...
Finished processing Full-Text-Search data in 0 sec(s)"
It looks like something that is needed in order to do the full-text-search is missing, but I have no idea what. I have read several threads in the forums regarding Search tab issues that others have had.
I have:
    * Ensured that the itss.dll and itircl.dll are registered and in my C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder
    * Confirmed that I have keyhelp.ocx and hhctrl.ocx in my C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder
    * Used the same browser to view the WebHelp output for both projects (firefox 3.6.18)
    * Checked the project settings - they match
    * Checked everything in the WebHelp Settings window - General, Content Categories, Navigation, Search and Publish - everything matches in both projects
    * Tried creating a new webhelp layout, selecting a different skin...
everything, to no avail.
When the WebHelp is being generated for the project where the Search tab works, the following displays in the Output View:
"Processing Full-text-search data...
Finished processing Full-Text-Search data in 115 sec(s)
I can't understand why the Search tab works in one project, but not the other project. See the diagnostic report below. According to the report, the only thing I don't have (and don't know how to get) is MS Help 2. But why would my search work in one project and not the other, despite not having MS Help 2? Both project have the same settings and I'm generating the same output - WebHelp. Any ideas why my Search tab works in one project, but not my other project?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

NOTE: In my original post, I forgot to include the diagnostic report that was produced by using the diagnostics tool mentioned in other threads where forum members were having problems with the Search tab, so here it is (just so that this thread is complete)...

Index & Search Tabs have garbage characters and no search box

Index and Search Tabs have numbers in place of the "search"
box. Although, the generated view looks perfect, the file
(WHLST10.htm) contains the same numbers and missing search box. I
am using X5 version. I import a MS Word file without an index and
am not selecting "Convert Index" on Conversion Options. Have also
removed "Auto-create styles from inline formatting" and "Convert
references into hyperlinks." Still getting same result. View
attachment.

Hi STCSherri and welcome to our community
I'm guessing that you have either enabled the Section 508
check box or you have opted for the "Pure HTML" output. Both of
these settings are found in your Single Source Layouts pseudo
folder. Expand that folder, then right-click the layout and select
Properties from the context menu.
The first dialog you see should have a check box labeled
"Section 508 Compliant Output". If that check box is not selected,
click the Next > button twice. You should be at the WebHelp
Options - WebHelp screen. In the "Navigation Pane Preferred Format"
area, where is the option configured? My guess is that it's "Pure
HTML". Try changing to perhaps DHTML > Pure HTML.
If all your options appear to be correctly configured and you
are STILL seeing the odd behavior, I would then ask which browser
and version you are using to display your help.
Cheers... Rick

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?
Thanks,
E. Johns

RH HTML search tab results

Hello,
We're using TCS, RH7 and FM8 with all updates and patches. We
compile a CHM file with RH from a FM project Imported by Reference
into RH.
We select Search Tab in the Windo Properties dialog box.
Tri-pane Tabs and Windows area. When we generate the RH project and
perform a Search using the Search tab, the file names show up in
the Select Topic to Display area, and the first page of the
selected file shows up when selected, with no indication of where
the search topic is.
What setting am I missing or using to make this happen? I
want a list of the topics (headings) containing the search text,
not a list of FM file names.
Best regards,
Karen Gross

You have an option in RoboHelp when you import files from
FrameMaker which allows to control your topic names. If you select
<$paratext> and you are paginating the FrameMaker files based
on say "Heading 2", the name of generated HTML files is determined
by your <$paratext> in Heading2. RoboHelp makes the topic
titles of generated HTML files same as the HTML topic names. When
you search in WebHelp, it displays the topic titles which contain
the search term.
If you control the topic filenames, you can get the strings
you want to show up in Search results

iTunes/iPod does not provide a way of copying tracks from an iPod to iTunes except for purchased music. But iTunes can play MP3 files without conversion.
Here are some ways of getting files from an iPod to your PC:
Copy from iPod to PC
It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
However this is not allowed for other music.
This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

Firefox always opens with the "search" tab even though I don't want it. How do I stop this?

When I open Firefox, it opens normally to my home page. But it also opens with the "search" tab, though I don't want it. How do I prevent this?

From the search page offered go to your chosen home page. Now move the mouse to the top left and scan the options for view, Toolbars and make sure that the "Menu bar" is ticked. This will show the File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks and tools options plus Help. Click on tools, then Options and select current page as your home page. All should now be sorted.

Searching for a term using the Search tab in HTML Help doesn't find all relevant topics.

I'm using the Search tab in the HTML Help window to search for a few words. But those words are not being located within the topics. For example, one of the words for which I am searching is Australian. I can find the topic that contains that word using the Contents tab. But the Search tab doesn't find it. I have even tried copying the word from that topic into the Search box but it is not found.
Is there a known bug in HTML Help search capabilities?

Is this a stand alone CHM file or is it merged? If it is merged, does the word appear in the search in the CHM containing the topic is searched? I assume you've checked that your Stop List doesn't contain the word being searched?
