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:

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

I don't think there is anything we can do on a user to user forum. I suggest you report this to Adobe as a bug. Please follow this link.

Search feature not working most of the time

My search feature on my iPhone 4 rarely works anymore. After swiping screen from left to right or pressing HOME button nothing happens when I start typing. If I press the search button it will take a long time before responding.

Sharing between Leopard and Snowleopard does not work reliably. For this reason, we do not recommend mixing Operating Systems.
Hope this helps,

Search Feature Not Working in Mail 10.7.4

Hi, the search feature is not working properly in Mail since upgrading to 10.7. If I use Spotlight from the desktop, that search will find the particular mail message I'm looking for, but searching directly within mail produces horrible results. I know I can just use spotlight, but sometimes I just want to search within mail. Any suggestions?

Erase and rebuild index:
Open Terminal and type$ sudo mdutil -E /
you'll notice it indexing...

Mail search feature not working

Not a good day today but to top it off, my Mail search feature doesn't seem to be working. In the past I've praised OSX Mail search features and enjoyed the instant results all whilst bashing the inop feature Outlook and Notes try to utilize. I'm afraid to say the OSX Lion Mail search feature is completely non-functional. As I was searching for this issue through the support topics, I noticed this very topic appear then quickly disappear. I couldn't duplicate the search again for anything. Hmm.
Also, what's the dealy with opening a PDF in Mail with Preview and your last 5 PDF's open as well? Uncool. And I want Safari to open with my Home page, not the last page I visited.
At least the Spotlight will still identify the messages I'm wrangling for.
No need to reply... just need to vent a bit.

A lot of things are broken in LION. Not recommended for professionals (only iPad users).
But here's a way to make better use of Mail Search:
In the new Mac LION MAIL app, it's not apparent that you can search for any part of any email address the way you could before with any previous OS, for when you type partial email text in the MAIL search field, it simply gives you a drop-down list of wrong or limited suggestions and none of the suggestions are email addresses, but people's names. I don't want to search by name, I want to search by email address. (Maybe I'm the only one who does this.) If two different email addresses have the same associated name (which I have), it chooses the wrong one and searches for the wrong email address!
But there is a way:
1) Select the mailbox you want to search (if any).
2) Type in the search field:
          to: any_string ["return" or "enter"]
          OR
          from: any_string ["return" or "enter"]
3) Your entry will change from this:
to this:
4) Notice that after you press "return" or "enter", your "to:" (or "from:") becomes a pull-down-menu button and the MAIL's silly choices go away. If you click the button, you get this:
and you can change your choice.
3) Strangely, "to:" or "from:" MUST be ALL lowercase for this change to take place. (It will still work if "To:" and "FroM:" are all or part uppercase, but the change to a menu button will not occur.)
4) On the menu bar below the toolbar, you will see the places to search ("All…Selected mailbox…Inbox…Drafts…Sent…Flagged")
Hello Lara_Croft.
Again, this time with your original fix. This works for me.. big help until Apple gets this squared away.

Search feature not working on os 10.8.4

For some reason, I haven't been able to use the search feature in an open window since I upgraded to OS 10.8.4. To test it, I was looking at a file on my computer in that folder and typed in the name exactly, but the search feature returned zero results. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this? It's very inconvenient to not be able to search for files givent the number of files I work with on a daily basis.

Search feature not working after upgrade to 11.2.0.1

Hi,
We have a RHEL Linux 64 bit environment wherein we were using 11.1.0.7 database.
We upgraded our environment from 11.1.0.7 to 11.2.0.1 successfully. No invalid objects reported and all the components under dba_registry shows as VALID.
The upgrade completed successfully. But we are getting this error while doing a search on the front end.
"Unable to retrieve search results. Error occurred while processing. Unable to return results. "
Has anybody encountered this issue? Please throw some light into the issue as to what could be wrong
Thanks!

What front-end you are referring to. If there were no issues while performing the database upgrade and all the components/objects are valid the database could be fine. You should investigate the issue from application perspective.

Search Tab not working - No topics found on all words

I have a RoboHelp X5.0.2 Build 801. Help project that has
HTML Help layouts. On 4/19/06 I compiled it and the search feature
was working. I took a backup of the project and it's output. I am
still able to search in that output.
Using the same Help project I recompiled last week and the
search feature is no longer working. I have not installed anything
on my computer and the following Windows updates have happened on
my computer.
Update for Windows XP (KB900485) on 4/26/06
Security Update for Windows XP (KB913580) on 5/10/06
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
I am under the gun on this one as the product has to go out
this week and it can't go without search working. !!
Thanks
Margaret Back

Hi Margaret
You should probably investigate your HTML Help components.
Hop over to fellow help MVP Rob Chandler's site at

and download Help Diagnostics to ensure all your components are
correctly matched.

Can someone please advise?

When I generate and then view the help, it looks perfect! I changed the name of the project folder since the information is proprietary. I have several pictures including the parent folder and the only 3 folders that are generated. I cannot find the Webhelp output folder. I think this is what you need to see.

Versamail Auto-sync feature not working with AOL mail w/Treo 700p (Verizon)

I'm having a problem with the Auto-sync feature not working with my 700p (verizon) with my aol mail. It had worked perfect since May 2007. Just started having problems End of April 2008. Sounded like I needed another incoming mail server from aol other than: imap.aol.com, aol told me they also use pop.aol.com, that isn't working either. I get an error message that says "last auto-sync attempt failed."....Anyone else having this issue? I'm trying to decide whether to get rid of my aol mail of 14 yrs and use other address to continue using versamail 3.5 or keep aol and use Verizon Wireless sync. I do not like how wireless sync sends mail to outbox and then syncs vs sending right away. Please help...
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

I am having the EXACT same problem: Palm 700p, Versamail, AOL, Verizon.
It started about 1 month ago. The GET still works, but AUTO-SYNC does not...After spending hours on the phone with Palm tech support, and reaching someone who said AOL had changed something in their servers. They suggested TRYING Chatteremail, another Palm product. I have tried it for 20+ days out of the 30 days you get for free. It works pretty well, but NOT every e-mail that goes to my AOL acct is making it to my phone. The thing that's great about Chatter is that can be "live" all of time. Not auto-syncing every 15 minutes.
It's very frustrating....The same way the Versamail just stopping auto-syncing is very frustrating. With Versamail, sometimes I did not even get the error message. If Chatteremail worked consistently, I would bite the bullet, and pay for it, but to pay for it, and have it not pull down all the e-mails, all the time is not good.
I spoke to Palm Tech Support in N. America today, and they say the way AOL uses IMAP servers is in a non-traditional way, and it's very hard to deal with. They suggest ditching AOL, and using something reliable for syncing purposes like GMAIL. It's just hard to cut the cord. The man I was on the phone with knew of my problem, and he solved it by getting rid of AOL. It's just tough, since so many people have the e-mail address for me.
On http://mobile.aol.com/aolproducts/mobile-email/mail-client
there seems to be some indication when you click on Smart Phones on left, that Coming Soon is Palm, but I don't know if that's going to be downloadable for 700p, or Palms moving forward. Or how far away that is.
I tried wireless sync and hated it.
This is really a pain in the butt.
*** Who did you speak to at AOL?
*** How did you reach them? e-mail? phone #?
I also did a search and found another program called "Snappermail", which I might try, and see if it's any better than Chatteremail.

Search is not working in HCM9.1 , pt8.52 after install

Hi I just installed HCM9.1 with Peopletools 8.52 on windows xp 32bits with Oracle 11g. This is my first install ever.
When I login online the search does not work (when i click search on any page that has a search record it just shows that progress gif image but nothing happens.)
I logged in using PS/PS
any ideas of what I did wrong during the installation?
These are the steps I followed.
1-Installed Oracle11g
2-Installed web logic
3-Installed Tuxedo and defined TUX_DIR
4-Installed Peopletools in C:\pt8.52 and HCM9.1 in c:\hcm9.1 nad Verity
5-Manualy created a database called HRSD using initHRSD.ora and configured the listner and defined ORACLE_SID , ORACLE_HOME and created the spfile.
then ran the scripts in the documentation to create namespaces , roles , dbowner etc
6-configured the application designer
7-loged into datamover and installed a demo hcm9.1
8-ran grant.sql
9-ran pt851u.sql and pt852u.sql.
10-configured the application server and booted it.
Created a new domain and configured it and started it. 8 processes start
11-configured the web server and started the PIA.
12-loged in successfully but the search does not work
Edited by: user2003312 on Feb 17, 2012 7:42 AM

Hi,
First of all I am very surprised you were able to get so far with the installation, since PeopleTools 8.52 is not certified on 32 bits systems and definitely not on Windows XP.
However,
Your are trying to install HCM 9.1 which is delivered with PeopelTools 8.50 and you are installing PeopleTools 8.52 so, you should have run the scripts as defined in chapter Updating PeopleTools System Tables in the installation manual to update your HCM 9.1 to PeopelTools 8.51.
Did you run these scripts?
If not please complete these steps as described in the installation manual.
And I also do not see you mention you have installed any PeopleTools patch. We are currently at 8.52.05. It is common at installations to patch PeopelTools to the last patch level.

Thanks in advance.
Jayesh Talreja

Hi Jayesh,
When you copy <td> element of product search from "navigationbar.inc.jsp" to "categoriesB2C.inc.jsp" you also have to copy
<form> tag and necessary java script function from "navigationbar.inc.jsp" file.
Read carefully "navigationbar.jsp.inc" file and understand how it is working in it and then copy necessary code from this file to "categoriesB2C.inc.jsp" file
I tried to post code here but some how it is throwing an error while replying you. Sorry.
I hope this will help you to resolve your issue.
