RHTML 8 WebHelp Search in Chrome not working

We are running RoboHTML 8, with output to WebHelp. The project does include PDF files. I mention
this because of other Discussions I've read looking for a solution.
The output is delivered to customers in a WAR and it serves just fine from the server in IE, FireFox,
and, even though technically not supported, in Chrome. However, in Chrome, while the TOC and Index
are ok, Search does not work from the server. (I did notice repainting issues when selecting multiple
entries in succession in the Index - as noted in another Discussion.)
What I mean by "does not work" is that when I type in a word ("expression", for example) and click Search, nothing happens.
The Search field is highlighted in a thin red line, so perhaps it is related to a security issue?
I have used Peter Grainge's Snippet to run the help output locally in Chrome and it runs fine. However,
Search does not work in Chrome when running the help locally.
I tried deleting the CPD and then opening the project and regenerating, but that did not
make any difference.
I saw another Post that said to try RH 10, but our manager said that upgrading is
not a first choice if another way to fix can be found.
Can anyone help please? 

Always difficult to answer when the question is phrased as you have put it. Rh9 and 10 are supported for Chrome and searching does work. It is always possible that something in your project or environment may cause a problem so no one will say for sure it will work. It should but the only sure way is to download the trial and check it out.

  • RH9 Webhelp Search function is not working properly

    Hi,
    My organization is using RH9 for a Webhelp project.  My company and our client are restricted to using IE9 for the online help I have created for this project, and our OS environment is Windows 7.  When I generate using the Webhelp layout, with the TOC, Index and Search options chosen, my resulting browser window shows two frames.  Left for the Contents/Index/Search and right for the content.  In the left panel, there are three links at the top for Contents, Index and Search.  When I click on the Search link, the only thing I see is the alphabet A-Z (which are links to filter items beginning with these letters (much like the index link) and a list of what I would say is garbage.  For example, if I click on H, I see items like "half 1 2 3" or "held" or "honor # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8", etc.  If I run my cursor down this list, I notice that maybe the word honor is a link.  If clicked it brings up one of my topic pages.  I can also click on the random numbers that appear, like clicking on 3 it brings up another topic page.  The search function does not allow me to type in a search criteria, since there is no search field as well.
    Do you have any suggestions for this issue?  Is this a bug, or do I need to change settings somewhere within RH9?  The same thing is happening when using this help project that is running on our clients server.  Is there any suggestion you can give to try and make this work properly?

    Rick,  Thanks for stepping in.    I assumed that was the reason why I was not receiving the search field, and that is fine for now.  We have discussed with our client the possibility of having two different help projects one for each, but that decision was kind of put on the back burner.
    However, the other issue I am having is still there and I don't quite understand why.  Since I only have clickable A-Zs for the search, and it lists links much like the Index section, I'm still seeing lists of just numbers and characters (i.e., "# 1 2 3 4 5", or "%" or "& 1 2 3 4 5" sometimes all the way up to 18 or so).  And each of these characters or numbers are clickable links as well to either page that doesn't contain that number or to nothing.
    Doing a bit more research, I have noticed that a lot of these links are being picked up by the PDF file we have as part of the project.  Our help project has a link to the documented version of the help in the form of a User Guide.pdf file.  So the search is listing items from that guide like the heading numbers 1.0, 1.0.1, etc.  Also each of these are clickable links that go nowhere.  But then there is still the numbers 1, 2, etc that go to pages that don't have this anywhere on the page.
    Do you have any insight as to why these types of things are being listed under Search at all?  They make that selection look very messy and unorganized.  Not professional at all.  I have checked and tested the properties settings and can't seem to find what is causing this to happen.  Any idea would be most appreciated!!

  • TOC, Search, Index does not work after hosting published files in Multiscreen HTML5

    I have generated and published the files for multiscreen html5. The default screen layout is Desktop_layout. When I access index.htm directly from the published location, every function and all details work beautifully. However, once I host the published files in IIS, and type the URL in Google Chrome, the screen layout is all messed up. TOC, Index, Glossary and the Search function does not work. Please help/suggest/guide.

    Could this be related to IIS? I host it locally on IIS (8.0 on Windows 8.1 Pro) and on Apache without any problems. But IIS can give trouble if the folder security options are not set correctly, so please make sure the IIS User has full read rights on all directories and files.
    Kind regards,
    Willam

    Hi
    I dont think that a field can be disabled and allows to choose data using f4 simultaneously. you can enable the field and allow the user to select whatever he/she wants.
    Then in any action like on press of save or submit button which the user will trigger after entering the values, get the value entered by the user in that perticular field and fire a query on the table/view, which you have used as selection method of your search help, it help is coming from data element then look for check table in domain. if sy-subrc comes 0 than go ahead else give error that value selected is modified.
    Thanks

  • Search Bar is not working for me in windows 7 32 bit OS

    Search Bar is not working for me in windows 7 32 bit OS'''bold text'''

    Hi Sameer,
    There's no version of Windows Vista that is supported, regardless of service packs.  You can always upgrade to Windows 7, though.
    Your other option is to use Brackets, the open source editor that Edge Code is based on.  It still supports Vista for now.  The downside is that Brackets lacks some features of Edge Code: Kuler integration, Edge Inspect integration, and Edge Web Fonts code hints -- although all of those except Kuler are offered as optional Brackets extensions too (you just have to install them).
    Hope that helps,
    - Peter

  • My search function does not work. How can I fix it?

    Hello paola t & welcome to the forums
    I need help I just bough a macbook 13 inch
    It may be that Spotlight hasn't completed indexing just yet - is there a dot (indicates busy) inside the magnifying icon top right?
    Also, check System Preferences/Spotlight to see what if any exclusions are configured, etc.

  • Mail search function does not work after reinstalling

    Hello!
    I recently had to re-install Leopard on my MacBook Pro.
    I made a clean install so, I manually copied the Mail folder and preferences from my old home folder to the new one.
    All mails are present, and everything works great, apart from the fact that the search function does not work.
    I can search for new mails (that came after the reinstall) but the old ones "dont exist" as far as the mail.app goes.
    What can I do about it ?

    It would probably be easier to do the entire hard drive. The App Store also uses Spotlight, so updating it will help there also. It takes some time to re-index and your computer will/may run slower until it is done.
    Direct answer to your question is go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Then go to System Preferences/Spotlight per the linked article and in your user folder, select Library/Mail/V2.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • HT4623 Since I installed the new update, my search feature will not work. It will only search my ipad. None of the searh engines work in Safari

    Since I installed the new operating System, my search feature does not work. I can only search my ipad. None of the search engines work in Safari. How do I fix it?

    Just just to make sure, you do not see something like this when you try to do a search in Safari?
    Try clearing Safari in Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and data. Then close Safari. Double tap the home button and drag the mini Safari window up toward the top of the screen in the multitasking display in order to close the app. Now reboot the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
    Try Safari again.
    The Spotlight Search feature on the iPad search) no longer searches the web, that is simply the way that Spotlight works now. Sort of a backwards move IMO but somewhat typical of Apple these days.

  • Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.

    Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.

    hi eric. many thanks.
    i will have to read these links closer but what i meant to say is that the hard drive space that was being taken up seemed like it suddenly jumped way up because i had just gotten through a process in the last month where i am storing all my My Documents data on my Mac Pro. i am doing this in order to decide whether i should just keep it ALL on my Mac Pro and use ChronoSync to sync /some/ of it to my MBP.
    so if i look in the Documents folder on my Mac Pro i have a ton of folders that i have created with a ton of data. if i look in the Documents folder on my MBP there are NO folders that have data in them that i created. there are other folders such as folders that various software created but what i mean to point out is that there was a LOT of available space on my HD until recently.
    i am wondering if there is some way that running the Mail re-index (it then ran some kind of "Importing" routine) or by syncing my Photostream to the MBP caused a huge jump in data on this drive. if it is the photostream sync i can just take this off or see if it will sync more selectively. if it is something to do with mac mail jumping in size i am not sure why this would happen or what to do about it.
    does that question make sense?
    i mean, before i did these two operations my recollection is that i would have had 130 GB on the hard drive (really just guessing here) and now there is like 218 GB on the hard drive and i don't know where all this came from...

  • My search engines do not work. I can access all my bookmarked items, but I cannot search for anything new. I followed all the troubleshooting steps I found but it did not work.

    My search engines do not work. I can access all my bookmarked items but I cannot perform any new searches. This problem has been happening since this morning. I followed all the troubleshooting steps that I could find and nothing has worked.

    Just to make sure, did you check the ring/silent button on the side of the phone? If it is set to "mute" you can still hear your selected ringtone in settings/sound, for example.

  • Mac Lion. Search function does not work in mails.

    Hello,
    I already wasted several hours trying to find solution for a problem which appeared with Lion, search function does not work, in mail at least.
    I was not using Leopard before and I am not a mac expert.
    (search function was already bad in the normal it was already bad in the normal 10.7 set up but at least it was working in mac mails).
    I tried reindexing via spotlight privacy settings (adding and removing HD) but does not work much better.
    I don't want to go to terminal, as as mentioned I don't know enough about mac to try this.
    What to do?
    Thanks,
    C.

    Anyone? Any ideas?
