Search results in CHM

When using the Search tab in CHM file, I would like users to search and find results only from the TOC list of topics rather than all the topics that are available in the project. For example, there are few incorrectly named HTML pages with incorrect content. I do not want these to appear in search results as they are not part of TOC. (I can delete these pages, but would liketo keep them for some content re-use).
Can anybody guide me on this?
Thanks.

Hi there
Try renaming the pages from using .HTM so that they use .XHTM instead.
Cheers... Rick

How can I remove the Location column from the search results in a .chm file?

How can I remove the Location column from the search results in a .chm file?
I generated the file in Robohelp HTML 9.
As far as I know it's used when you've combined more than one source into the final help file. It is possible (though I don't remember doing it) that I did that once a couple of years ago but now I'm only using one source - the project that's generating the .chm.
Can anyone tell me how I can remove it?
Thanks
Tom

In Project Setup look at the Window properties. I think you will find Advanced Search is ticked.

Search Results in RH8

Using TCS2 (RH8) referencing Frame book, generating chm file.
When using the Search tab in my generated chm file, I have two unattractive issues.
Many of the topics displayed in the search panel have words separated by underscores (like their file names). I don't want my users to see underscores.
The results are highlighted in the main window. I don't want them highlighted.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Jim
Sorry, but it would appear there is no optioin we have that governs this.
About the best you can do is to disable the "Show Context in Search Result". But that doesn't remove the ranking.
You may wish to suggest it as an option.

Modifying the search in a chm

Is it possible to modify the search in a.chm so that only relevant topics to your search keyword show up? I came across this site that makes it possible to improve the webhelp by editing some Jscript code, but I wasn't sure if it was possible in a .chm:
http://www.helpscribe.com/2008/10/improving-webhelp-search-results-in.html
If anyone has any ideas, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Hi again
I would think the search would fail to produce any results if you change the extensions, but if it's getting you what you want I'll leave it alone.
I normally change the extension in Windows Explorer. Naturally this renders the topic as being missing because I sneaked behind RoboHelp's back and pulled the old switcheroo. Then I delete the topic from RoboHelp's Project Manager and amend any links to point to the new .XHTM. After that I add the renamed .XHTM topic to baggage so RoboHelp is aware it should be included. However, as you are building a CHM file, the compiler normally pulls in all referenced files automagickally, so you may not need to take the step of adding to baggage. But if it were me I'd probably do it anyway as a safeguard.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Hiding Topics From Search Results

I have about 7 different types of users that require
different and private set of documentation. My plan is to use
conditional build tags to deliver a help set for each user. I'm
delivering noncontext-sensitive help and via batch processing.
Later I'll ensure that each help set is context-sensitive, and have
the product call the correct one. I'm trying uncover flaws in my
architecture. I'd like to streamline if possible.
What's cool is that my product's interface has built-in
profiling, so the product already knows what windows/tabs (context)
the user can access. Seems like a perfect way to deliver
context-sensitive help for all my users. But, can I do so with just
ONE help set?
I can disable TOC, but one thing I can't figure out: How
would I prevent users from seeing private content launched via the
search engine? I'm just trying to figure out how to use only one
help set and still restrict content. Unlikely, right?

There's another way to do this:
1. Move all the screen capture topics to a new (secondary)
project.
2. Create a new CHM file from the secondary project.
3. In your primary project, open each link to a screen
capture image. In each case, the Hyperlink dialog will appear.
4. Open the
Link to drop-down menu, and then select
Remote Topic.
5. Navigate to the secondary CHM file.
6. Select the desired topic from the secondary CHM file.
7. When you are finished, generate a new CHM file from your
primary project. The secondary topics will
not appear in your search results.
I found this in the RH Help files or the Knowledge Base; I
don't remember which. Also, if you don't want to repeat these steps
for each link, you can edit one link, copy the code from the
TrueCode pane, and use a find-and-replace feature to replace the
old code with the new target. That should cut down the time
tremendously.
(FWIW, I use drop-down hotspots when I show such captures at
all.)

RH10: Snippets from resource manager show in search results

I'm new to using the resource manager, so there's a good chance I've done something stupid here... but...
I have 2 projects (I am the only tech writer, so running off one PC, no version control). I want to share snippets between the projects, so I'm using the resource manager to keep them synched up. Both are compiled as CHMs.
When I search, I'm getting search results that appear to be the snippets in the results. When you double click them, they don't open.
Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing.
Has anyone else seen this before? I'm using RH10.

I have set up a test and cannot get snippets to show in search results.
I am a little puzzled by the fact that you say they appear to be snippets, thus casting some doubt.
Do you have snippets with those names and do the snippets contain the term being searched.
Do you have topics with those names?
Does it happen in a new project?
Try creating a new SSL, not a duplicate.

Hi Experts,
The requirement is to add a new display field u2018External Nou2019to the activities SEARCH Result list.
At the moment activities are displayed with start date, end date and category, now the user want to display External No as well.
The details for that

Hi steve,
Still my issue was not resolved, could you help me to find the exact error.I have enhanced the component, view and context node, still i couldn't able to add attributes to the context node BTQRACT.I tried to add several fields, but it is giving the same error 'METHOD CL_BT126S_A_APPTSR_CTXT' CREATE_BTQRACT DOES NOT EXIST'. I have checked the OSS messages and found 2 relavant to this component. I have implemented both the Sap Notes 1363752, 1226612. Still after implementing the OSS note, i am getting the same error.My guess is one of the method is missing. Please help me out?

Podcast No Longer Showing Up on iTunes Search Results

We submitted our podcast months ago and it showed up on the iTunes store just fine. Somewhere along the way, someone on our end introduced a code error in the .xml file that broke the links to the audio files. We didn't find this issue out for quite a while, and in that time, it appears that iTunes flagged and took down our podcast feed from the store (I'm assuming because of this code error).
I have since remedied the code issues and I can subscribe directly to the feed now, so it is working fine. But I cannot get the store to show the podcast in any search results. When I try to resubmit the feed the store says it is already submitted - even if I change the url and the .xml file name, so it is clearly smarter than I am, haha.
Any tips on how to get out of this problem? It has been several weeks and the podcast still does not show up on the store.
Thanks,
Bill

Roger,
Thanks for the reply - in the time it took me to hit submit and tab back to my .xml file I saw that I'd missed changing the link/title. Thank you for confirming that this will do it - it let me resubmit. Take care!
Bill

Sorry, something went wrong - Open Office File from Search Results Page with Office Web Apps

Hi,
I'm getting "Sorry, something went wrong" error when I'm trying to open any office document from inside Search Results Page with Office Web Apps, the same error is appearing in the document preview as well.
The error in SharePoint logs says that the file cannot be found.
Please note that this error is coming only when the "Filename" of the document is not written in English (in my case its written with Arabic characters).
If I try to open it from the document library, its opening properly with no errors.
The only difference between two URLs (document URL in Search Results and in Document Library) is the value for "sourcedoc" attribute;
In the case of Search Results page, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is kept as is with Arabic characters.
While in the Document Library, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is converted into different characters (something like: "B9%D9%85%D9%8").
Anybody have an idea on how to overcome this issue, implement a workaround or modify the "sourcedoc" behavior?
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Wendy,
Thanks for your efforts, I already tried your last suggestion before, but this didn't solve my problem.
Actually my end users are accessing this portal using ADFS and HTTPS.
Finally I got this solved, I have done below to get my overall solution working perfectly:
- First I have configured Windows Authentication and ADFS Authentication on the same zone which is the default zone.
- The issue when opening office documents with Arabic file name has disappeared as a result of first change.
- Then I have faced an issue where we are not able to crawl content under Default zone, however we have to do so, after too many efforts, I found that its related to the Load-balancer/proxy, I have made the crawler server
to crawl himself (http://CrawlServerName:PortNumber).
- Also a change on Alternate Access Mapping was needed, I have set one of the extended zones (which is running Windows Authentication only) as Internal URL for the Default Zone, and this is was the URL I used for Crawling.
I have configured Server Name Mappings to make sure we got proper URLs in Search Results.
- Then we faced another issue, which is Authentication selection on login page (How to bypass this page, and authenticate using ADFS auto), I used this solution (Set Custom Sign In Page):
http://0ut0ftheb0x.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/skip-the-authentication-selection-page-at-_logindefault-aspx-in-a-mixed-authentication-environment/.
- I faced one more issue as a result of above workaround; Sign Out functionality wasn't working well; users get logged in automatically whenever I click on Sign Out. I solved this by modifying the "Sign Out" Control under _layouts;
I made it to redirect users to ADFS Sign Out Page instead of SharePoint Sign Out Page (I know its not recommended, but I don't have any other option).

Why do google search results reset to match the search bar terms when i use the back button?

Since the update to FF 23, the list of Google search results clears and the on-page search box is reset to match the address bar search box when I hit the back button to re-view the results list after checking a result.
To see this issue for yourself, set your search provider to Google and make sure Instant is on. Type a search term into the search bar and press enter. A google page appears with your results list. Now, change your search terms or conduct a new search directly from the google page (without using the FF search bar). Click on the first result in the search list, then click the back button to return to the search results so you can check a differest result. As FF goes back to the google page, it will reset the on-page search box to match the FF search bar (although you were no longer on this search) and all search results will disappear, replaced by the message "Press enter to search". Pressing enter reconducts your old search, not the one you were on.
This is incredibly maddening since searching for something requires frequent use of the back button to check through the list of search results, and then frequently trying the search again with slightly different terms. Although it sounds like a Google issue, it did not occur on the old firefox and has me wanting to revert. I tried to revert to the old search function via the "keyword search" addon, but this did not fix my issue. Is there a way to force FF to go back to the actual google search page I was just on instead of conducting a new google search from the FF search box when I hit the back button?

In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref.<br />
The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

Web page different from opening link in a new tab or new window from Google search results

I had been using another browser for a few months because I did not want to lose the web pages I opened within Mozilla. I began using Mozilla again after saving off the web pages. I see that Google's web page pulls in search results as I type in keywords, a feature I don't remember seeing with other browsers along with a magnifying glass icon, like a look ahead of what a web page looks like before clicking on the link.
With the list of search results, I click on the link and tell Mozilla to open the link in a new tab. I see the google icon, "loading..." or "testing...", then results other than the link I wanted. Those other results maybe bing.com, http://66.45.255.230/click.php?c=0920f96609cb269f1d0045095c09, http://superpages.iarbiz.com/o6gIoMdG6so=-tQ1LeOu1v0kY34rDZ|oRy8Xt294ACu6X, Info.com, Supermedia Reverse Proxy (http://superpages.iarbiz.com/o6gIoMdG6so=-tQ1LeOu1v0kY34rDZ|oRy8Xt294ACu6X)or whatever else. As for the link, I managed to press stop before being redirected.
This is with any search results listed.
I thought it was Google.
Changed to Instant is off.
Nope. Still the same issue. Have already gone after malware. Tried resetting the redirect value to 0.
Above results also occur when opening the link in a new page via right menu click.
Copying link location and pasting in a new window is displaying results okay.
When resuming use of Mozilla, an update was available and installed. Did not experience the above issues before the update.
Running version 3.6.12. Running Win XP Pro SP3.
Had to go back to IE and Chrome/SRWare Iron.
Example:
Google keywords: rental cars
Clicked on Ad: _Avis_Rent_a_Car_, link is Avis.com
Clicked on top search result: Hertz_Rent-a-Car_-_Rental_Car_Discounts,_Coupons,_and_Great_Rates (magnifying glass), www.hertz.com

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />

How to change search result list entries?

Hi together,
I'd like to fit the TREX search result list to my own requirements. I've edit the Search Result Renderer Settings, Search Result Layout Set, Search Component Set and the Search Option Set. But that's not enough.
1.) I would like to display the relevant index name, in which the document was found.
2.) For special indexes (not for all!) I want to change the content link:
For example: if TREX is finding an xml-File in index "abc_index" I would like to change the content link from
"https://portalserver/irj/go/km/docs/folder/p76.xml" to
"https://portalserver/irj/go/km/docs/folder/p76.htm"
and from
"https://portalserver/irj/go/km/docs/folder/p76_data.xml" to
"https://portalserver/irj/go/km/docs/folder/p76.htm"
3.) I'd like to display a special part of the document as a explanatory text in the result list.
I think point 1 and 3 are possible with properties and HTML-extractors. But point 2 I'm afraid I have to create my own component.
But how to manage this? I cannot find any code snippets or tutorials or pattern to copy and develop further.
Is it possible or advised to write a WebDynpro? Are there other possibilities? I don't know how to start.
I would be pretty delighted to get any idea...
Thanks a lot
Steffi

Hi Stefanie
1) If you want to be able to show the name instead, you should write your own property renderer. Heres the link for the documentation: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c739e546-0701-0010-53a9-a370e39a5a20 -> How to Implement Flexible UI
Components -> Property Renderer
2) Documentation will be send in a matter of minutes.
3) I also think the web property extractors only work with the web repository manager, because as far as I know that is the only repository manager, where you can select a web property extractor upon creation. I guess you could open an OSS to SAP and ask if its not possible to extract properties in your scenario just to be sure if its not possible. But my guess is that you either have to develop your own repository manager or publish your files on a web server in order to meet your requirements.
Best regards,
Martin

If Condition in Keyword Query Language (SharePoint 2013 Search Results)

Hi All,
Can we have an "If" condition in Query text box in SharePoint 2013 Search results page. For example, i want to hide all list items whose
status is "HideItem" from appearing in search results?
I am trying this: {?{searchTerms} (contentclass:STS_ListItem -ListItemStatus:"HideItem")}
But, this hides all items like aspx pages, pdf's, docs and displays only list items.
Similarly, hide pages of some name like: AllItems.aspx, ViewDetails.aspx, AllAssets.aspx
{?{searchTerms} (contentclass:STS_ListItem_850 -filename:"AllItems.aspx")}
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Steve. I found this solution after a bit of struggle :).
Also, date comparision is not working as expected.
{?{searchTerms} NOT(contentclass:STS_ListItem AND ListItemStatus:"HideItem" AND
PublishDate<{Today})} is not working and throwing syntax error.
I don't see any solid reference to KQL syntax except this msdn link.
Can you please suggest any good material on KQL syntax ?
Thank you once again.

How to sort web app items based on few fields of it on search result page?

I have a web app and its search. The search results are on multiple pages means it has pagination. My client's requirement is to have a feature which will sort results based on some web app items. for example we have a field price so when user select the price it needs to sort from high to low. Any one have idea how to do it?

I have just been playing around with this for something else, all you need to do is duplicate your price field into the weighting field and it will automatically sort from High to low for you.
Cheers

How to exclude Web App from search results

Hi
Search results link to a unstyled Web App instead to the actual page it resides in.
Please do this:
1. go to: http://kinship.businesscatalyst.com/
2. search for "Michael" on the top global search
3. on the search results page click on the name (link).
4. you will see Michael's web app item not the actuall page it resides in (http://kinship.businesscatalyst.com/About/the-team)
How to avoid getting web app results in search?
Thanks
Micha

Hi Micha
Just add “&OT=35 “ at the end of the action in your search form:
Ex:
<form name=”xxxx” method=”post” action=”/Default.aspx?SiteSearchID=3566&ID=/results&OT=35”>
<div class=”search-box”><input type=”text” class= ............../>
<input type=”submit” class=”cat_button” value=”search” />
</div>
</form>
Here are the rest of the content types IDs, should you come across similar situations in the future:
Web Pages = 1
Literature = 6
Announcements = 7
FAQs = 9
Forums = 43
Blogs = 55
Web Apps = 35
Catalogs = 26
Bookings = 48
You can exclude multiple areas from a search, simply list them with commas: &OT=35,1,6
