Robohelp 9 WebHelp - Searching doesn't produce any results.

Hi, I upgraded to RoboHelp 9 last week and now searching in Webhelp doesn't produce any results. I've created a new project, used the sample project, tried generating it to a new folder and results remain the same.
When I select the search tab, the status bar flutters with the "Waiting for file...." displayed indefinetly with the occassion display of the javascript: (void);
Screens shots are from the RH 9 sample project. Results are the same with my projects. CHMs generated work fine!
Any suggestions?

Mary
You added the problem to another thread that was not related as the issue there is the use of HTTPS. I have deleted that post.
You also started a second thread with a the same question. I don't understand how asking the question twice will help so I have locked that thread but created a link to this thread so that anyone with an answer can help you. If there is a reason for starting a second thread, please let me know.
Please just ask once and wait for a reply as this wastes moderator's time that is better used trying to answer questions.
Now to the problem. Searching with Chrome installed works just fine for most people so the problem seems to be local to you. If I have read you correctly, after installing Chrome, the search breaks no matter what browser is used.
Was that checked on other machines or just yours?
IGNORE THIS QUESTION - The answer is YES and that was in the post.
Did you also check that search was broken with the supplied sample projects? I know that works with the three browsers being discussed here?
Where was the help installed when tested by you both standalone and from the application?
Questions 2 and 3 are really only related to problems with Chrome. I have not seen anyone report Chrome also breaking the search in the other browsers. There's more to this than meets the eye as Chrome has not caused that problem for anyone else, or at least, no one has reported it.

IWeb Error: "Your search did not produce any results."

I just updated my iWeb and added the new search and comment features to my iWeb site. I am happy to see these features added but the search feature gives me a page displaying "Your search did not produce any results." Does anyone else have this issue? I am using my .Mac account and did a "Publish all to .Mac" to see if that would help. Comments work great. Can anyone help? Not good to have a feature that does not work.
Cheers!
Patrick

I am having the same problem and can probably give you an answer as to why the search feature is not working...
Look carefully and you may notice that by re-publishing your site with 1.1, iWeb has converted all text on your site to image files (probably .png). This is what happened when I re-published.
Therefore, there is technically no text to "search" through...
No fix as of yet... I will ttry to republish yet again tonight

Your search did not produce any results

Hi,
I'm publishing my iWeb site to my ME.COM account.
I have the site password protected as offered in iWeb.
But when the site is password protected the search with the iWeb search field does not provide any results.
Only the message:
"Your search did not produce any results."
If I disable the password protection for the site in iWeb and republish, the search provides the expected results.
Any idea what's wrong?
Thanks and Regards,
JO

Sorry, didn't test enough.
After publishing a few new blog entries under the password protected site, I tested the search again and it does not return any results.
It was working for a short time when I republished unprotected and then again protected.
Now that I added block entries under the protected site mode, search is brogen, again.
Any Help?
Thanks and Regards,
JO

Robohelp 9: WebHelp search showing too many highlighted results

I set up the WebHelp Settings (Search) to Enable Highlighting in Search Results, Show Context in Search Results, and Hide Rank Column in Search Results. When I search for keywords, such as "e-mailing requestors", the results highlight every letter in the search phrase, including the "e" in "the. I did not enable the Substring Search. Please see the attached screenshot. Does anyone know what's wrong?
I have the latest update of RoboHelp 9 (9.0.0.228). This is happening in IE9 (9.0.8112.16421) and Firefox 3.6.20. (I can't even test the WebHelp locally in Google Chrome until I upload it to the Web server, since all of the panes are blank (version 13.0.782.112 m).

Peter,
You and Rick are both correct.
Here's the response from Nidhi at Adobe Support after I reported this as a bug:
"For searching words like 'e-mail' ,you need to specify it in double quotes ,and then only just the word 'e-mail' will be highlighted .
As in our search we have a set of break characters:- @ $ ^ ( ) ~ ? / { } [ ] + = ! * - %.
Whenever we encounter such break characters in the search query ,text is broken into keywords at these characters and indexed for searching ,and that is why in case of the word e-mail, the word 'e' and the word 'mail' are indexed separately .And when you search for the word e-mail without quotes ,it would search for all instances where it finds the word 'e' or the word 'mail' and highlight them .
Hence if you want the search to return and highlight only the word 'e-mail', you need to specify the word 'e-mail' in quotes like "e-mail" so that it honors it as a phrase and phrase search is done on it and the exact match is returned and highlighted."
Thanks very much for your help.

"Download the OS X Installer app from the Mac App Store" - where to find it? A search doesn't bring any result...

I want to create a bootable USB drive for Yosemite. The support site suggests to ""Download the OS X Installer app from the Mac App Store" prior the creation. But where to find it in the App store? Any search combination does not bring a meaningful result....
Thanks guys.

Thanks Matt, understood. It was my fault, just simply thinking, there is an App called "Installer"

IN clause in DB Adapter doesn't retrieve any results

Query builder in the Oracle Database Adapter doesn't give an option to include IN clause in the SQL. If I include that in the SQL directly say like the following
SELECT COL1, COL2 FROM TEMP_TABLE WHERE COL1 IN (# VAR_CD)
and I am passing 'Joe', 'Matt' to the VAR_CD parameter.
This doesn't retrieve any result. If I pass only one value, say, 'Joe' to the parameter VAR_CD, it is fetching the result.
I am not able to figure what goes wrong here.
Can somebody please help me here.

Hi, someone knows what could I do?
After the Lollipop update my Music Index simple vanished. If I enter in the Music app, this only shows the sound effect of the camera.
I tried to clean up and reset the Music app, I have tried to update this too, enters in the safe mode and I used another music app from another company, and every of them only shows this folder.
The strange is that in the File Commander the music is there, and this can categorize the folder with musics.
I don't know what could I do more. If someone have the same problem or know what could I do leave a message.
Thank you

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.

Jim

Mac Mail "Search" won't return any results

Hi,
Mac Mail- OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
I'm having trouble with the search feature on my Mac Mail. I'm using an IMAP account with: Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Junk and trash mailboxes. I also have folders under the "On My Mac" section. When I click on a folder, either "Inbox" or a mailbox "On My Mac" and try and search for an email no results are returned even though there should be multiple hits. I see multiple emails from John Doe prior to entering John Doe in the search bar and no results are returned even when I switch the search criteria to either "From", "To" or "Any".
Also is there any way to search all folders in Mac Mail at once without having to click on each folder and search it individually?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you
T

First, take all the applicable steps in this support article that you haven't already taken. If the problem isn't solved that way, see below.
Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.

CONNECT BY query doesn't return any results...

Hi All
I am trying to execute this CONNECT BY query...but it does not return any result.
Could anyone please suggests what am I doing wrong. Or how should I modify the query to get the results.
SELECT Distinct dt.DID FROM DEPT dt left outer join EMPLOYEE emp on dt.DID = emp.DID WHERE dt.parentid in (SELECT DEPT.DID FROM DEPT CONNECT BY PRIOR DEPT.DID = DEPT.PARENTID START WITH DEPT.PARENTID in (2000,-2000)) or dt.parentid=2000
Any help would be really really appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Take the nested query and run it in SQL developer (or SQL Plus) against the database directly. Does it give any results? That query returning no results is the most likely cause of the problem.

Currency Translation not producing any results

Hello Everyone,
I have ran into a very strange problem with the out of the box currency conversion. I have a finance app and am using the Fxtrans script logic to execute my currency translation. The problem I am having is when I run the FX Restatement package I not getting any results. LC has the correct amount that was input but my other reporting currencies show zero. My Entity dimension (which is named Company) has the correct currencies in the currency column for each company, and the InputCurrency dimension has all of my currencies listed. Everything else is the same as the AppShell app set. One last note is I do have some additional dimensions in the finance application but I don't think that would cause any issue.
My Rate cube is built the exactly the same as the rate cube in appshell app set. The only difference is my category dimension is named scenario.
I have updated all the system constants files and the script logic to reflect the dimension name changes. Everything works as expected in the Appshell application, but I just can't seem to figure out why it won't work in my appset.
I am sure I have left out some details that are needed so please just ask and I will provide whatever I can. I really appreciate any help anyone can provide.
Thanks in advance!
Nick

So I figured out the issue. For some reason the data that was in the WriteBack table for any currency other than LC was not showing up in the report. Once I optimized the application the currency conversion showed up as expected.
Has anyone had this problem before. Any known solution?
Thanks,
Nick

WebHelp Search Doesn't Display Search Box on Chrome or IE With Chrome Frame

I have RH10 (recently upgraded from RH9) and WebHelp projects are having issues displaying the Search box within the Search tab on Chrome as well as IE with Chrome Frame installed. Instead of getting a search box, I get what almost looks like an index of numbers with associated hyperlinks. The search box appears and behaves fine on other browsers such as Firefox, Safari and IE without Chrome Frame. I assume this is JavaScript related since all of my tests point in this direction, but no idea how to get it to behave. Attached is a screen shot of how it appears...Any suggestions?!?

Any other suggestions? Not really but Item 10 in http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh10/using_rh10.htm covered how to fix another IE Frame issue. Maybe that would help put your developers on the track for a fix.

SAP 6.40 patch 17 - Script Recorder Doesn't produce any VBScript

Hi!
I'm REALLY new into this stuff, and it can be I'm asking silly question but.
When I try to record use case thru Script Recorder on my SAP Logon 6.40 patch level 17 no script is generated in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\SapWorkDir.
I've previousley managed to record the same thing on SAP Logon 6.20 rel 15.

I'm pretty sure this is minor issue and that my parameter perhaps are set wrong.
System WinXP (SP2)
Any ideas??

Hi Jude,
thanks for the reply. We are using SAP gui 7.30 Patch 10 . It does not create the script.vbs file when we perform the recording
Please find the below error trace we are getting:

I am confused now.
          [5.3.12] says:
          All text that is uninterpreted by the JSP translator is converted
          into the body for a jsp:text element. As a consequence no XML elements
          of the form described in Section JSP.5.2.11 will appear in the XML view
          of a JSP page written in JSP syntax.
          and [5.2.11] says:
          The XML syntax for JSP pages also allows an XML element that does
          not rep-resent neither a standard action nor a custom actionto appear
          anywhere where a jsp:text may appear. The interpretation of such an XML
          element is to pass its textual representation to the current value of out,
          after the whitespace processing described in Section JSP.5.2.1.
          which means that page like this:
          <jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="1.2">
          <html>
          <body>
          Hello, World!
          </body>
          </html>
          </jsp:root>
          should work - "...The interpretation of such an XML element is to pass its textual
          representation to the current value of out...", right?
          And the schema appear to allow this (B.2):
          <xsd:group name = "Bodygroup">
          <xsd:choice>
          <xsd:element ref = "directive.page"/>
          <xsd:element ref = "directive.include"/>
          <xsd:element ref = "scriptlet"/>
          <xsd:element ref = "declaration"/>
          <xsd:element ref = "expression"/>
          <xsd:element ref = "useBean"/>
          <xsd:element ref = "setProperty"/>
