Search stopped working in CHMs compiled using RH 8.0.2

Today I noticed that the Search functionality had stopped working in CHMs that I recently compiled using RH 8.0.2. I'm sure they were all working pretty recently but can't say exactly when it stopped working.
As a test, I created a test HTML Help project with default settings, and wrote three short topics. When I compiled it, there was not even a search button/tab, nor were there any others, even though Contents, Index, Search, and Glossary are all selected in the "Window Properties (WebHelp Pro)" dialog. (Since when do these settings apply only to WebHelp Pro?)
I was so surprised that I thought I must have done something wrong, and repeated the experiment -- with the same result.
The only thing I can recall doing on my computer is uninstalling Microsoft Visual Studio. Surely that couldn't have had this effect?
Also, there was a "Security Update for Office 2003 (KB976382): VBE6" and a "Security Update for Windows XP (KB978542)", both on May 12.
Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks

Do you have a window specifically for CHM files? Beware your window characteristics are taken from your default single source layout, so if you have that set as WebHelp Pro and use it when compiling a CHM you are likely to get odd results. You'll need to change the default SSL to MS HTML Help, create the new window and (if you want) reset the default SSL back to WebHelp Pro.

Likely you need to re-register some DLLs and recompile.

Search stopped working in AIR

Hello,
It's me again. Sorry, but I am still poking around with RH 8 and AIR and trying to learn everything. I just inserted a second pdf into my project and installed the AIR output. However, the search is no longer working (was working before this pdf was embedded). I read around in this forum and found the following thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2284312#2284312). It indicated that the problem was with an error in the person's pdf file. How in the world did they find this error? I'm not sure how to check a pdf to make sure it is okay. Is this the reason people think the search stopped working for me as well?
Thanks again for the great help.

Hi there
Unfortunately the AIR output is something reasonably new to all of us. As a result, there really isn't a good base of knowledge out there with regards to it. So in one sense, you are somewhat navigating uncharted territory. Many of us have no clue what to suggest. When issues have emerged, largely it's been the Adobe RoboHelp Engineers that have provided the solutions.
In your case, it might be that the PDF you were adding has issues. Or, it could be something as simple as the AIR output only allowing ONE PDF to be inserted. I would think that would be easy to sort. Try removing the PDF where search is working. Add the other and compile. Does search break or continue to work?
If it breaks, likely it's got something to do with the PDF.
If it continues to work, likely it's got something to do with AIR not liking multiple PDFs.
If you don't mind, I'm going to move the posts that are AIR related into the AIRHelp forum category.
Cheers... Rick

Spotlight Search stopped working on my 4s

Spotlight Search stopped working on my iPhone 4s. Apple replaced my 4s 2 days ago and now spotlight search has stopped working on the 2nd 4s. The Apple techs are stumped, any ideas?

Friends,
finally I found someone having the same problems
I have an iPhone 4S 32 GB (germany, T-Mobile).
I have all my mails and contacts via my work MS Exchange Server.
My first iPhone 4S stopped searching after a while - it only shows 1 out of 10 search attempts.
I walked to the Apple Store and they gave me a new one.
Also the second one stopped doing any search 1 or two days later.
So, disactiveted the search in my mails, my contact etc..
...but it doesn´t bring ANYTHING on the screen while typing.
Today, I´ve been to the Apple Store again and the guy just sent me home - they can´t do anything
Guys, this *****. I managed to use the iPhone at work instead of my Blackberry and now all other colleagues are buying iPhones, but if this is not going to work I´ll have a big problem.
Any ideas here? What can I do?
Thanks folks.

The disk drive in my iMac 8,1 has stopped working, so I now use an LG 8x Slim Portable that works. However, every time I use the LG drive, I lose contact with my Time Machine back-up drive that has to be deleted and reinstalled. Help!

It's not Logic that can't find them, it's your Komplete apps, though if you did exaclty as you say I can see no reason why they can't.
Do you know where the apps installed them in the first place? I chose a non-standard locarion for mine, but I'm sure it installs sounds to your documents folder/native instruments/name of app.
Go into the prefs of each app and choose the library location button on the library tab and point it to the relevant folder in documents/native instruments and see if that works

The audio in "speak screen" stops working after a few uses. IOS 8.2 did not fix this problem unfortunately. I'm using the Alex voice on a Sprint iPhone 6 plus- if that matters.

I really enjoy the speak screen feature, as the voiceover is too inconvenient and tricky to use. The speak screen option works oerfectly for reading, and helps me as I'm dyslexic. However, the Alex voice stops working after the initial use or soon after. I then have to restart the phone every time in order to get the speak screen to acruelly speak again. Really annoying and was hoping that IOS 8.2 Would fix this, but it appears it had not fixed this bug. Any help with this?

Any problem when connected to another wi-fi network besides your own?
The only additonal troubleshooting options after powering the iPhone off and on, an iPhone reset, and resetting network settings on the iPhone is restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup and/or restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup - the same when connected to any wi-fi network besides your own as well as not being able to maintain internet access when connected to your carrier's cellular network, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

My Photoshop CC and also my CS6 has suddenly stopped working. I'm using Windows 7 - 64 bit. I need help, does anyone know what to do?

We can't know. You have not told us what exactly the problem is. If there are any warnings, you need to provide them along with other info like the crash logs. If not you have to explain the situation in more detail. Just saying that it doesn't work anymore is not particularly useful.

Every time I try to use internet, the application(firefox/safari/chrome) stop working but when I use the modem on windows it works great. whats the problem?

every time I try to use internet, the application(firefox/safari/chrome) stop working but when I use the modem on windows it works great. whats the problem?

I just spoke with Tesco technical support (having been transferred to them by Clubcard support), who told me that the problems people are experiencing when visiting the Tesco site via Safari aren't currently being addressed because "not enough people have called to complain about it".
I asked what percentage of people he thought might make the effort to call instead of just giving up. He replied that he would be one of those who just gave up.
So it would seem that if we would like the problem to be resolved, we each need to take a few moments to CALL TESCO and ensure our complaint is logged by the technical support team.
Every voice helps

Hello warrior41
Start with the article below to troubleshoot issues with iTunes crashing or not working as expected. Start with booting up iTunes into Safe Mode and see if the issue persists as well as creating a new user to see if the issue is system wide.

Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If nothing has happened after holding for 30 seconds charge the phone for 15 minutes with the wall adapter and try again.

Search tab has stopped working in .CHMs

I maintain several .CHMs for a client. For a reason I can't
figure out, the Search tab of any .CHM that I've updated recently
no longer works. Any search attempt results in "No topics found." I
verified that any older versions of .CHMs have working Search tabs,
but any .CHM that I've updated this year no longer has a working
Search tab. I even took one of last year's projects, made
absolutely no changes, recompiled, and voila, Search is broken.
I have verified that I've got all settings set correctly on
the Windows Properties dialog, plus all required .DLLs are
correctly installed and registered.
The only change to my setup is that I upgraded to IE7.0
(finally!) earlier this year. And I've kept up with all Windows
updates. I have been using and continue to use RoboHelp HTML
X5.0.2. (I have not upgraded because, in my opinion, it was not
worth my $500. I'm self-employed and am holding out for a more
robust upgrade.)
Any ideas? Frankly, I assume that a Microsoft upgrade has
messed up the works and I'm stuck, unless I shell out bucks....
Nita Beck

Thanks very much for the reply, Author Care! As I said, even
for a project whose Search tab had been working and for which I
made absolutely no changes, recompiling that project now yields a
broken Search tab... Wassup with that??!!!
Including only an Index is not practical for the particular
Help system I'm working on today. It's loaded with esoteric terms
and strings of numbers (thousands and thousands) that users must be
able to (and, up until now, have been able to) search for, and it's
quite useful that found search terms are highlighted in the found
topics. There's no way that the Index in this case can replace the
functionality offered by Search. They are complementary
features.

The "My Ebay" page and the AT&T yahoo changed suddenly and some features are non operative. Also the Google instant search stopped working. All this is happening on Firefox. Everything displays and works correctly on IE. What could be wrong?

Hi, On thursday evening I closed all open windows to do some virus scanning and window washer maintenance. After I was finished I opened up firefox and went back on Ebay and the "My Ebay" window has changed to a totally different appearance and I can't access messages, etc. My AT&T Yahoo email window has also changed its appearance and has selections on it which are new and non operative. They both are now presented as a vertical format and the "My Ebay" window is expanded off the monitor with a blue sliding bar on the bottom and large white areas in the viewing area. I can shrink it down, but I then need a magnifying glass to read it. The opening Ebay sign in window is normal. The opening AT&T sign in window is normal. Also the Google instant search results, which used to appear when I was typing in my search words, has also stopped working. Everything seems to work properly on Internet Explorer. When I double click on the Mozilla icon it takes me to the Mozilla start page and shows me the Google search bar. That is what I normally see. I'm baffled.

(1) Firefox's built-in post-crash page has not been a real HTML page for a long time (for example, from the time of Firefox 22, see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968212 Want to save LOTS of versions of "Restore Session.xht" from the "oops ..." page for later use]). If you had this working differently with Firefox 25, that might have been created by an extension.
You can check to see whether extensions are disabled or need an update on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. The disabled extensions cluster toward the bottom of the list. To poll for updates, use the "gear" button above the list and choose Check for Updates.
If you used the Reset feature (or Firefox automatically did a reset due to some problem during upgrading), you will need to reinstall missing extensions. The reset feature creates a folder on the desktop named Old Firefox Data. Do you have that folder? There may be data you can recover from it.
(2) There are many ways for history to get cleared, both internal to Firefox and external. Could you double-check your Privacy settings?
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
* The "Firefox will" drop-down says Remember History: Firefox shouldn't be clearing history, but an add-on or external software could do it
* The "Firefox will" drop-down says Use custom settings for history: inspect the "Clear history when Firefox closes" setting to make Firefox isn't set to clear history. Also check your add-ons and consider external software.
Firefox normally accumulates months of history. However, some of Firefox's database sizes are based on disk space available. If your hard drive is very full, Firefox might reduce the amount of history stored.

URGENT: RSL Stopped Working - Need to compile with Runtime Shared Library

I need this target to compile using the “Use Runtime Shared Library” option such that Flex libraries will be not included IN the swf, however I cannot get it to work. No matter what, mxmlc includes them. Oddly it DID work briefly for short time, however suddenly stopped again and unfortunately going through subversion revision history yields no insight whatsoever to what evoked this breakage.

I really hate to do this, but I very much need someone from Adobe to chime in here. It is causing some serious headaches. Ant nor the straight Flash Builder 4 will build with RSLs properly enabled now and this is really a very urgent situation for me. It has doubled file size and made the application absolutely unbearable for users.
Thanks!

Lion Mail Search Stopped Working

The search in my Lion Mail doesn't work at all. When you enter some text you get nothing. This is on my Mac Pro. On my Macbook Pro it works. I even deleted all the mail and let it reimport. I even reindexed spotlight. Next step is to remove all the accounts and start over. I stopped using Apple Mail because of this before and chose Thunderbird which works perfect, but Lion Mail came out so I thought to give it a try and it still doesn't work. I have to be able to search.

Brilliant, works every time!
Actually, you were the one who found the solution by trying the following statement:
    set CS_Messages to every message that subject contains "Daily Summary"
Have you any idea why my original script stopped working, just like to know to stop this happening again.
Since the original script has always worked flawlessly on my computer under OS X 10.8.1, the only thing I can think of would be another application interfering with Mail or AppleScript in your system.
By the way, the following version of the script might be somewhat faster when you have a huge number of messages in your mailbox:
set theContents to {}
set theContentsRef to a reference to theContents
tell application "Mail"
    tell mailbox "CS Notepad"
        tell mailbox "Test"
            set CS_Messages to every message that subject contains "Daily Summary"
            repeat with thisMessage in CS_Messages
                copy content of thisMessage to the end of theContentsRef
            end repeat
        end tell
    end tell
end tell
theContents
See the AppleScript Language Guide, Class Reference, list (p. 110 in the PDF version) : “For large lists, it is more efficient to use the a reference to operator when inserting a large number of items into a list, rather than to access the list directly.”
