RoboHelp 5.0 - Highlight Search Terms

Hello,
I found the following page about highlighting search terms through Adobe’s forum:
http://www.grainge.org/pages/various_rh_projects/highlighting/index.htm   
However, I was unable to download the Javascript .zip file from http://www.calvinly.com/weblog/000111.html     (the actual link is  http://www.calvinly.com/robohelp/highlight_search_X5.zip ).   Is there another way to locate this file?
Thank you,
Connie

Hello,
I found the following information at
http://www.grainge.org/pages/various_rh_projects/highlighting/index.htm
Reference the Javascript File
The script is referenced by adding the following to in the <head> section of the page.
<script type="text/javascript" src="highlight.js"></script>
You can name the javascript file whatever you want as long as you amend the above accordingly. You will also need to enter path details if the topic is not in the root of the project. Click here if you need help with setting the relative path.
Call the Javascript Function
The topic you are reading calls the script by inserting the following immediately before the closing </body> tag.
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
beginSearch ();
//--></script>
This looks like a great feature.  Can someone help me to locate a copy of the highlight.js file?  (when I tried to download this file from http://www.grainge.org/pages/various_rh_projects/highlighting/index.htm I got a "file not found" message).
Many thanks,
Connie

  • Highlighted search terms in links...

    If I search the forums, then the search terms are highlighted (yellow/bold) in the resulting messages. This is nice except when the search terms appear in a URL. The URL then does not function as a link anymore like it normally does in messages here.
    For example:
    http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/content.html
    because of the highlighting becomes:
    http://otn.<font%20style='background-color:/#ffff00'><b>oracle</b></font>.com/docs/products/<font style='background-color:#ffff00'><b>oracle9i</b></font>/content.html)manual

    What you seem to require is the search to return a list of results and to know which topic the user requires to see. No search output works like that. It is possible to highligh the searched keyword once you have displayed the topic (even with CHM files) but as Rick says it will not take users directly to it. That is true of all output types. Most output types have a find facility (CTRL + F) that can be used to find a keyword it requires the user to manually enter a keyword.

  • Highlighted search term

    Hello,
         I have integrated a 3rd party search in the Portal using <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5e514b57-0701-0010-3796-deb3636835fa">this</a>. The problem is that the search term is not highlighted in the search result list for results coming from 3rd party. Whereas if the result is coming from TREX the search term is highlighted.
    All I could find was that TREX takes care of highlighting the search term and then this gets displayed. See the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/06/0ca63b4df12308e10000000a11402f/content.htm">Keep Content</a> parameter in this docu.
    I guess this parameter is available only for indexes using the Trex Search Service and since my index uses my custom Search Service, I do not see this parameter in the config.
    I want the search term to be highlighted in the 3rd party search result also?
    Has anybody faced a similar problem and is there a way to achieve this?
    Many Thanks,
    Akhilesh

    Hi Karsten,
    Thanks for the explanation. I am looking for highlighting the search term in the content snippet. Yes the 3rd party returns an abstract and in my code i set the htmlSummary when creating the rawresult
    rawResult.setHtmlSummary(resultElements<i>.getResultField(NewsSearchResult.RESULT_KEY_DESCRIPTION));
    where NewsSearchResult.RESULT_KEY_DESCRIPTION returns the search result abstract.
    But i cant see the search term highlighted in the search results page.
    If i use the standard TREX service for searching through docuents the search term is highlighted in the results page.
    Your help is much appreciated.
    Thanks, Akhilesh

  • How to open PDF URL with highlighting search term ?

    Hello
    I am trying to open a PDF URL in a browser and would like the PDF to open at the page coataining the first hit of a specific term and at the same time highlighting all occurences found in the document.
    Apparently one way to do it is to add this #search=termsearched to the URL such as in http://thePdfUrl#search=termsearched
    However this seems to work in some cases but not all the time. Kind of issues I am seeing are:
    1 - Once you open the PDF the search string does not get highlighted in  some cases and the left nave (search window) does not come in focus as a  default view.)
    2 - Another issues identified  it is striping the 1st and last chars from the keyword.
    3- Initial search doesn't seem to always work...Only if you open the pdf a second time the find funcionality seems to work as expected.
    Is there a better way to do this and to avoid these inconsistencies and have a more robust behaviour ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have the exact same problem but I don't have a bar. I'm trying to use this URL "http://translate.google.com/#auto/en/" but the script changes the # to %23. Any ideas? Thanks
    Edit:
    OK, that's starting to get weird. I tried using this URL instead "http://translate.google.com/#auto%7Cen%7C". When I put it directly in the browser it works which means that it is correct. When I use it through Automator it keeps changing the # to %23. Now the weird part. If I put #fr like the original poster it doesn't change it. It only change it with #auto. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

  • Auto-open DHTML dropdowns containing highlighted search result?

    I have submitted the following feature request.
    Does anyone know of a script or other "trick" that will produce this result?
    When returning search results in published output, automatically open DHTML dropdowns containing the highlighted search term. Otherwise, users go to the listed page but cannot see the highlighted search term. There may be many dropdowns on a single page, resulting in some inconvenience for end-users of published output.

    Hi Willam
    I stand to be corrected on this, but won't that cause all drop-downs to expand for all topics? I understood the issue to be that only when a term was found inside a drop-down was when the expansion was desired. So perhaps a single page has ten drop downs and a searched term is found that occurs in one of the ten, only expand that drop-down do the term would be visible.
    AFAIK this isn't possible.
    As an aside, it always did strike me as odd that someone would go to all the trouble of inserting drop-downs and expands, only to later want them all presented by default when the topic was opened. Isn't the idea behind them to hide information until the user wishes to see it?
    Scratching head.... Rick

  • PDF files are very faint and the search function doesn't highlight the search term when found

    I'm using Firefox 5 with Windows 7 64 bit. When I open a PDF file the file is very faint and the search function doesn't highlight the search term in the body of the PDF.

    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.

  • Robohelp 9: Error when using search terms including the word "not"

    We are moving from Robohelp 7 to Robohelp 9.  We realize that Boolean operators such as NOT are supposed to be working now, but we do have times when we might find ourselves using search terms that include the word "not" on its own.
    The problem that we are finding is that if we search for something like "office not installed", because that phrase is part of a specific error message we might be trying to locate, we are getting the error, "The words you typed is not a valid expression" [sic].
    We have tried making modifications to the Stop Words and Always Ignore words and can't seem to find a solution.  We do need to be able to search using the word "not" as a regular search term.  Even as a Boolean operator (NOT), we are getting the same error.  Searching for "office installed" will get us the result that we want, but we have a team of users who will definitely instinctually search using the word "not" since it's part of the error they are searching for.
    Thoughts?

    Hi Benjamin
    First, I don't believe the Always Ignore has anything to do with Searching. That particular list is used when you instruct RoboHelp to build an index using the Smart Index Wizard.
    Actually, something like "Office Not Installed" is a perfect use of the Index. But I'm guessing here that your system doesn't include an index in favor of trawling through the pile of words in the project.
    If you aren't using an index yet, I'd highly suggest you investigate it. In a properly indexed system your users will find what they are looking for infinitely faster and easier than they ever will by using Search.
    Just a thought... Rick

  • Search terms not highlighted

    When I search, the page moves down, but the search term is usually not highlighted. If I continue to search down, some results are highlighted. This is described by this message: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4010198#4010198. I would have commented there or clicked 'like', but there was no visible option on the page for me to do so.
    Is this Adobe Reader problem being fixed or is there possibly anything I can do to fix it?
    I have Windows 7 x64; Adobe Reader 9.4.5.
    By the way, you might want to consider putting a 'check for updates' control in your product to encourage users to get up to the latest version. I do appreciate the link to the help forums.

    Reply added to the thread you linked to.
    Hopefully it helps you.

  • Outlook 2013 Search Term not Highlighting

    Hi
    I have Outlook 2013 running on a Server 2012 RDS Server connected to Exchange 2010. When searching, the search term is not being highlighted in the results
    Can someone advise
    Zatdam

    Zatdam mentioned outlook running on server 2012 RDS. The search function definitely doesn't highlight results even with those options ticked and highlight color is anything but white. Have you tested this out in terminal server environment? It works
    fine on PCs and all but not in TS.
    We just moved a bunch of users from local workstations to RDS 2012 and they use Outlook 2013 in Online mode. Their search works but it will not highlight the matching terms. 
    Is this by design in a RDS environment? is there a fix for this?

  • How do I link to a HelpID or a Search Term without any programming, through a URL?

    I have looked through the documentation, and it seems that every "possibility" to call either a search term or a HelpID/CHSID for my documentation is to use some sort of API.
    Is there a way to call the search function and CHSIDs directly by only typing a URL in a browser (or link from another page, or from an email, etc etc)?
    I'd actually like to know for all 3 outputs I am potentially going to be using: WebHelp, WebHelp Pro (RoboHelp Server 9) and HTML5, as I'm not sure yet which form it will take at the software release.
    Thanks!

    Hi OL-Lachance
    A couple of items I would add to Willam and Colum's comments.
    At the present time, WebHelp Pro (the Rh Server 9) does not support HTML5 output. WebHelp on a conventional web server is fine.
    In terms of the odd terminology for CSH, the term MAP Number or Map ID, generally refers to a unique number that is assigned to a topic so that it can be referred to in the application calling the help. The Topic ID is generally an alphanumeric string which is often the name of the topic title connected by underscores. Depending on the language of the application, sometimes only the Map number or sometimes only the Topic ID is used. Or, as you have learned, sometimes neither one is used and a URL is used instead!
    You and your developers may also find these topics helpful in the RoboHelp online help which can be downloaded here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/robohelp_11_help.pdf
    Look at Chapter 11 for some interesting specifics on the many ways to call CSH. Of course the links mentioned in Willam's and Colum's posts are excellent as well.

  • Highlite oracle text search terms

    I have a report that I set up using the instructions for Oracle Text Application in APEX. It works very well however I have the actual document as a link and I would like the search terms highlighted in the actual document. Is there a way to do that in APEX?
    I use this Region Source:
    select score(1) relevance, filename, dbms_lob.getlength("DOCUMENT") Document, code_id
    from documents
    where contains (document, :P10_SEARCH, 1) > 0
    order by 1 desc
    I read something about using ctx_doc.snippet to highlight but can get that to work.
    Any suggestions or can APEX highlight terms when the actual document is used?

    '8265490,
    Take a look at the ctx_doc.markup procedure. I think it will do what you want.

  • Highlighting Search Strings vs Individual Words

    I am using the method on Peter Grainges site for Highlighting
    Search Strings. I have completed all necessary changes and the
    function works~~~~ One thing I have found that I wonder if I can
    change.... As it stands now If I enter more than 1 word to search
    ROBO actually separates both words and searches them as individual
    words ~ I want to search as a string not individually -- is there a
    fix for this?? Thanks in advance for any help that is
    offered.

    The search has no link to the highlighting in this context,
    it just makes it obvious.
    I don't think you can change that other than use a different
    search. ZoomSearch can be configured to work with RoboHelp and is
    described on my site.

  • What character splits search terms (for different search result tabs), searching from the search box.

    When we type in a search term, in the search box, the results can be shown in a tab. But how can you split search terms while entering them all at once, each search term providing results in a new tab.
    "Search Term|Search Term Two", using |;\ etc only sends the term in entirety beyond. What does this box handle and how to make it open two tabs when given two separated search terms.
    So what is this special character or setting?
    Thank You

    Thank u so Bruce , I finally found an answer to my question.
    The solution u provided looks complete except that i am confused by the meaning of strField , may i didnt provide more details in my  post .
    The strField var i provided earlier was not meant to be placed in my code  , the correct one is shown below .However , the strField means according to me is the field against which the search operation should take place based on the ( search Term )
    the user provided . 
    Here is the code after applying the solution u suggested :
    'Information collected from the user      
     strWhereToSearch = IIf(.framSearchIn.Value = 1, "[quknotSubject]", "[quknotBody] ")       
    strCondition = strWhereToSearch & "  Like '* " & strTextSearch & " *' OR " & _
    strWhereToSearch & " Like '" & strTextSearch & " *' OR " & _ 
    strWhereToSearch & "Like '* " & strTextSearch & "'" 
    'Fill result search  Recordset      
    strSql = " Select  * from qryExtraTool_QuickNoteSubCatMainCat   "         
    strSql = strSql & " WHERE   " & strCondition & "  ORDER BY quknotDate"  
    'Control Source for the text box to display matches. ( Highlight the search word )     
    txtQuickNoteBody = SearchHilight(strWhereToSearch, strTextSearch)
    Tell me if my implementation to your code is right ?
    Thank u again Bruce ...
