RoboHelp 9 - What does WebHelp Search actually Search

I am using RoboHelp 9 and can't seem to find out what WebHelp Search actually searches. Will it search Word documents, PowerPoint or PDF documents that are included in the Project files?
Or does it only search for the keywords that I enter for that topic page that the file is linked to?
Deb

Hi Deb
A fair question. But we first need to clarify exactly what you mean by Search. I say this because sometimes folks talk about the Index as if it were Search. And indeed, they are two separate things.
With the Index, the help author specifies specific keywords by either typing them in manually or by asking RoboHelp to assist (by using the Smart Index Wizard) and the experience for the end user is this. They click the Index tab, then begin typing what they are looking for. As they type, a list of keywords is attempted to dynamically match what is being typed. Often, before they completely type the keyword it appears in the list and off they go.
On the other hand, with Search, the user types the search term in full, then clicks a Go button. At that point the search is performed and candidate files are returned. And yes, typically, Microsoft Word documents, Adobe PDF documents, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and I believe even Microsoft PowerPoint documents will also be searched.
Hope this helps... Rick

  • What does the Cell Network Search do on the iPhone 4s?

    What may happen if I turn Cell Network Search off on my iPhone 4s. It's under location services scroll all the way down to system services. Will I not be able make or receive calls?

    Yes, go ahead and turn it off.  It SENDS location based information to Apple for their use (marketing, trouble shooting, who knows all or what).  Basically it records the tower ID of the towers within range of your phone as you move around throught the day and sends that back to Apple.  Since the location of the towers is known, they then get information about where people are most using iPhones during the day, what the loads in different areas are, and other stuff that lets them learn about how and where iPhones are being used.
    It has NOTHING to do with how your iPhone actually functions normally, so you can disable all of the services listed there ifyou wish.
    Compass calibration MAY be useful in some cases - I know when I was trying Waze, it often could not get a reliable position fix until I re-enabled compass calibration.  I don't know why that was, as all I know about compass calibration is it supposedly allows for a more accurate correction between geographic and magnetic north.  But at least with Waze, it clearly assisted Waze in getting and holding a location fix when driving, in areas and at times when without it on, Waze was unable to track my movement, or sometimes even get a fix at all.
    Setting time zone - IF you were traveling across time zones, and were out of range of a cell tower (so no cell signal to correct your clock) or your clock failed to change correctly once you had cell signal again, then turning this on may help correct the clock.  Note that from posts here, usually you just need turn it on, let the clock correct itself, and then can turn it off and the clock will be fine (it just helps when you've shifted multiple time zones with no cell signal for the phone to correct itself by during the journey).
    The other four in that list, I have never enabled as you just don't need them for anything, and they do use power every time they use location services and everytime they send data.

  • What does the Metro "Everywhere" search cover?

    HI there folks.  I'm wondering what the search covers when I go to the metro start menu and start typing for a file.  It never seems to find my files.  A few weeks ago I changed my index options to include the entire C: drive so it should
    know about everything by now. I assumed that the search was based on what was indexed.  Help appreciated.

    Hi,
    The Search charm provides settings, files, global search results powered by Bing of many content sources (the web, apps, SkyDrive, actions you can take) to provide the best query.
    Have you checked the indexed location, make sure to include more options you want to search
    You can also try to rebuild the index, and check if it helps. Control Panel\All control panel items\Indexing Options\Advanced\Indexing settings\rebuild.

  • What does searchable items in search admin page mean?

    whatdoes searchable items in search admin page mean? I guess it is
    total indexed items. How we can get the same data using c# API
    When i reset my index,  searchable items becomes 0. How to get this value
    Rajesh

    Resetting your index should NEVER be done, unless you absolutely want to blow all your search data away and start reindexing everything from scratch.  That is why your searchable items become 0 when you reset it.  The reset option deletes the indexes
    from the query servers and restarts full crawling of all content.
    To answer you question, yes, the searchable items in the search admin page means exactly that... the total number of items indexed.
    I trust that answers your question...
    Thanks

  • Access log - what does ETIME mean for searches?

    I am running Directory server 5.1 sp4. We recently had an issue where a search was initiated by a webserver with a bad network card. The symptom was intermittent 'ABANDON' entries in the log. However, when the ABANDON is in the log, the ETIME of the search is high - 10 seconds or so. Normal response time for the same search is 0. It appears that the ETIME of the search includes time spent trying to send the results back (unsuccessfully) to the requester. Is this a valid theory?
    Here is a sample search from the log...
    [20/Mar/2009:11:32:47 -0400] conn=23294 op=1247 SRCH base="cn=xxx,o=yyy" scope=2 filter="(|(objectClass=zzz)(objectClass=aaa))" attrs="bbb"
    [20/Mar/2009:11:32:57 -0400] conn=23294 op=1247 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=438 etime=10
    [20/Mar/2009:11:33:06 -0400] conn=23294 op=1248 ABANDON targetop=NOTFOUND msgid=1248

    Yes, the etime will also include the time it takes to send that data back to the client. This is also considered part of the LDAP operation and so bad network performance can also cause higher etimes.

  • What does this procedure actually do

    Hi,
    This code was copied from the popular HR schema from my Oracle 9i installation.
    It says add_job_history, If it populates from somewhere presumbly an employee table, there was no mention of employee in the code.
    If it is not actually picking data from another table for it to be called job_history, what is it doing then.
    PROCEDURE HR.add_job_history (
         p_emp_id job_history.employee_id%type
    , p_start_date job_history.start_date%type
    , p_end_date job_history.end_date%type
    , p_job_id job_history.job_id%type
    , p_department_id job_history.department_id%type
    IS
    BEGIN
    INSERT INTO job_history (employee_id, start_date, end_date,
    job_id, department_id)
    VALUES(p_emp_id, p_start_date, p_end_date, p_job_id, p_department_id);
    END add_job_history;
    Many thanks

    END add_job_history;all it do was to inserting a rows in the job_history table. possibly it is being called from a trigger.

  • What does 'sync mail' actually do?

    When i hook my iphone up to the computer and itunes opens, what exactly does the 'sync mail' option do? i don't have that option checked when my wife connects her phone.

    If you have any email accounts set up on your Mac's Mail app and you select to "sync mail" with the iPhone the accounts you select to sync will show up on the iPhone's Mail application also
    It is not necessary to select to sync mail each time you sync your phone, once the email accounts are on the iPhone you can deselect to sync mail since the email settings (incoming and outgoing servers) are the only things that are synced

  • What does "consolidating library" actually do?

    +"when you say makes a copy to your itunes folder does that mean to the folder that you dsignate in you preferances?"+
    Yes, exactly.
    +"here is my problem, most of my music is on my external hdd but everything that i am buying today and importing today it is putting in the username/music/itunes folder"+
    New music that you import, or purchase from the iTunes Store, goes into the designated folder, without regard to where the rest of your music is.
    +"i want it to go in the folder that has the rest of my music, the folder set in the preferances part is the username/music/itunes but itunes does see the music i have in the other folder. should i just change the folder in my preferances to where i want the music to go and consolidate it all to there?"+
    Changing the folder in preferences affects future activity, but does not move anything that is already in place. It sounds like Consolidate is what you want. Make sure you read the link provided by Zevoneer so that you fully understand it; it takes a while to run and has no Undo.

  • What does the SPClientIDGenerator actually do?

    I see this in master pages, but not entirely sure what it does and/or why it needs to be where. I've Googled this and got not a lot. Is there a quick, short answer to what this class does please?

    Hi,
    The only difference whether this control exists in the master page is that, if removing it from master page, the three JavaScript variables would not be created
    after the site pages loaded:
    As the information about this control seems not been documented well enough by Microsoft at this moment, I would suggest you submit a feedback to the Office Developer

    Overview
    When a BlackBerry® smartphone is removed from the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, the BlackBerry smartphone may retain an IT policy that was assigned to the user during the original enterprise activation, and as a result can restrict access to certain features.
    To remove an IT policy from a BlackBerry smartphone, use one of the following methods:
    Method 1
    Before removing the account from the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, create a blank IT policy on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, and assign it to the BlackBerry smartphone user account. For more information on how to create a blank IT policy

  • What does ip fragment reassembly do

    hi can someone pls tell me what is the meaning of ip reassembly mode in the global configuration where it gives a option for operating system.
    i mean what does this option actually do.
    can someone pls guide me.
    regards
    sebastan

    When a datagram is fragmented by normal methods there is never any fragment overlap or overwrite. Where one fragment ends, the next fragment begins at the very next bit. And all operating system assemble these fragments exactly the same.
    But fragments can and some times do overlap. One fragment might end at say byte 1400. The next fragment should begin at byte 1401, but on occasion you will have an overlap where that next fragment begins at byte 1399 or earlier. So long as both fragments have the exact same data for those bytes that overlap, then the packet will still be reassembled the same by all operating systems.
    BUT if the 2 fragments have DIFFERENT data for that same area of the reassembled datagram, then we call this an overwrite. And each operating system can have a different way with how it deals with the overwrites and chooses which data to accept.
    Say for example that the first fragment ended at byte 1400 and had "ab" at bytes 1399 and 1400.
    The next fragment is an overwrite and begins and byte 1399 and has "xy" at bytes 1399 and 1400.
    One operating system will reassemble these and end up with "ab", while another will reassemble and up with "xy".
    Each operating system has their own method of determining whether it will be "ab" or "xy".
    In fact there are about 8 different ways that these packets can be reassemmbled depending on how they were sent, how they overlap, and their offset order.
    Hackers understand this and will use it to attempt to evade the sensor.
    The hacker will determine the operating system of the end host and will then try to send his attack in such away so that the end host will see it as "ab" and get hacked, but the sensor reassemble it as "xy" and thinks there is nothing wrong.
    It would be great if the sensor could reassemble the fragments and analyze them in ever one of the 8 possible ways that operating systems can reassemble them.
    But this is too cpu and memory intensive for the sensor to be able to handle.
    So instead of trying all 8 possibilities the users chooses the operating system that is the most common in their network. The sensor will then reassemble the fragments in the same method as that operating system.
    Understand that this ONLY applies to Fragment OverWrites.
    For normal fragments where one fragment ends and the next begins, and for fragment Overlaps where both fragments have the same data; this setting doesn't matter because all operating system will reassembly them the same way.
    So if you are concerned about this, then you need to monitor for the fragment OverWrite alarm.
    The operating system configuration only comes into play when the fragments OverWrite one another, and you will see the fragment OverWrite alarm being triggered.

  • What does this component do? ipod nano 1g

    Hi,
    i've had to disassemble my iPod nano 1G at some point because it came into contact with water.
    I cleaned it up and it worked fine aside from the adhesive on some of the tapes on the inside being less sticky.
    The circled component in the picture came off and I glued it back on. After replacing the battery yesterday I found that the same component lay on my carpet this morning, yet the iPod has been working without flaws thus far. So I'm wondering: What does this thing actually do and should I bother putting it back in?
    Also, it seems that not all 1G iPods have this component. The component itself seems to be a type of electric jumper.
    I'm aware that this is not the most critical issue. I'm curious though, so if anyone could provide some info on the purpose (or respectively the effect of the removal) of this component I'd very much appreciate it. =)
    Have a good day!

    Click on your ipod's name in the source list on the left, and it might tell you the sync status instead of the download status.
    Frankly, itunes is so darn fussy, I can't say I've downloaded and synced an ipod at the same time.
