Word-stem or truncated search term

Hi All,
I would like to enable my users to use truncated words in
their searches. For example, if you enter "be" you would get
results with "beef", "beer", etc.
Does anyone know if that is possible in WebHelp output is RH
6?
M.S

In snippet 53, referenced above, it appears that the
discussion is on .chm output. Could it be that the workaround
described there is not applicable to WebHelp outputs?
Perhaps the example of querying "be" was not the best, but I
still cannot get search to work for truncated terms that do not
appear on the Stop List.

  • 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

  • Word Stem Search Using INPATH(//element/@attribute) Broken?

    I am attempting to use word stemming while searching within an attribute of an XML tag, but Oracle returns no results. If I turn off word stemming it works just fine.
    An example that does not work:
    select id from table where CONTAINS(xmldoc, '$road INPATH(//element/@attribute)') > 0;
    An example that does work:
    select id from table where CONTAINS(xmldoc, 'road INPATH(//element/@attribute)') > 0;
    I haven't seen anything in the documentation that would suggest that word stemming wouldn't work, nor would I know where to find out if this is an official bug.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Leonard

    Stemming with INPATH is supported. If you think that you may
    found a bug, please contact Oracle support with a reproducible
    test case.

  • I am having a big problem with entering search terms in Google

    Here is the problem. I enter several search terms and do a search. So far, so good.
    After I am finished clicking on one or more links I return to the Google search page to do a new search.
    Since most of the words are the same, except the last one or two, I backspace over the old words and start entering the new ones.
    Then very strange things happen much of the time.
    1. It may restore the old words (the ones I already backspaced over and erased) and put my new words behind the old ones.
    2. It may just restore the old words, that had been backspaced over, completely removing the new words I had just typed in.
    Any ideas why this keeps happening? Is it Google or Firefox causing the problem?
    It seems very strange that words that had been backspaced over (erased) magically reappear as if I hadn't removed them.
    Thank you.

    What is the problem?
    Does send work?
    Receive?
    Error messages?
    Does the account work on other devices?
    DId it ever work on an iOS device?
    Did yo Google for the setting to use?
    DId you delete the account on the iPod and tried again?

  • Search Term Issues when passed as Parameters in Opening a PDF file in Browser (Updated)

    Hi everyone,
    I am wondering if there is a solution to the following issue.
    We are working with PDF files that have been OCRed (invisible text layer). We use a search engine to search the PDFs for terms. We then pass the search terms as a parameter to the PDF when we are opening it in Acrobat or Reader in the browser. It brings up a list of instances and the context in which it is found -- much like the native search function -- but it is not possible to only search for the exact phrase when it is passed as a variable..
    In some cases, what we see are two lists -- so it has the filename with a list underneath that is expanded showing search results, and then a second instance of the file name after that list, but it is collapsed.
    Is there a way to just have one list or both lists expanded at the same time?
    Also, is there a way to ensure that it shows instances where more search keywords are found at the top of the list.
    For example, if we pass the search phrase "wanted to buy a car" it might show instances of "to" at the top of the list, but later on in the collapsed list it might show instances of "buy a car".  Again, is it possible to prioritize the results, or at the very least, expand everything? I am not sure what else we can try.
    thank you,
    Jeremy
    Follow up: I should note that some times the two lists appear to be the same or similar terms found twice. At the top it would say 2 documents with n instances (where n is the number of instances). I have noticed this when the search keyword count goes up.
    Follow up #2: It appears that this occurs more often when using more than 2 keywords, but I have seen it happen with only 2 words.

    There were documents available in the knowledgeable that I no longer have the urls for. I have had communication with Adobe Acrobat support personnel that have made the same statements. I do not have the habit  of asking official Adobe tech support people to prove their statements by providing documentation. I have also seen Adobe employees give presentations on computers that have had both installed. When they were asked about the incompatibility, they did say the equivalent of phooey. However, enough people on this forum have had their problems disappear when they have removed one of the two programs that I feel comfortable giving that advice. Yes some people have no problems running both until one of the programs or a system component gets updated and then things stop working. My advice is not to have both on the same computer. When two programs share system calls and can fight over who gets to handle the call it makes sense that it can cause a problem. It doesn't make a difference if it is Reader and Acrobat or any two other programs you run. If you are not having a problem with running both GREAT. However, if you are running both and have a problem, it is a simple step to eliminate one and see if the problem disappears.

  • There needs to be a way to require all search terms to be found

    The forum search hasn't been particularly productive for me due to the inability to restrict results to only those which have all of the search terms I enter.
    Please add a way to only include posts which contain all of the entered terms and not just add to the score for each term found.

    Hi Bill,
    Use the '+' in front of the words that you want to have within the forums.
    In the test forum if you search for "test plus" you get 26 results, if you search for "+test +plus" you get one.
    Best, Mark.

  • 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 ...

  • Font features of search term

    Hi, I need to get font size, word color and underline status of a particular term in pdf file. Is this possible to get these features of the search term for all occurences of word in the file. Please help with some useful example/link. I need to use this feature in one of my product developed in c# with .net 3.5 framework.
    Also, if this can be done with acrobat sdk then to use this how I can deploy my solution to be able to search these on any machine with/without acrobat reader etc. and what cost I'll need to pay to use this feature with my product.

    Underline is not an attribute of PDF, but color and font information is available to plugins or library clients.
    You would need to license the Adobe PDFLibrary from Datalogics (http://www.datalogics.com).

  • Show search term in URL (for google analytics)

    Hi there,
    I was hoping someone might have advice for a newbie question.
    When someone searches on our website we'd love to know WHAT they are searching on
    (this would allow us to create more products based on searches - e.g if lots of people are searching for Red then we'll create more Red products..)
    Our website is: http://www.angelaromatics.com.au
    The search url is currently coming up as: http://www.angelaromatics.com.au/Default.aspx?A=ProductSearch&ID=/search-results&SE=True
    Our search section is set up as:
    [code]
    <form name="catsearchform5878" action="/Default.aspx?A=ProductSearch&amp;ID=/search-results&amp;SE=True" method="post" class="search">
        <input type="text" name="CAT_ProductSearch" class="entry_form" placeholder="Search our products here..." />
        <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </form>
    [/code]
    Is there anyway to get into the URL the query / search term (so google analytics will list it in results)?
    I'd love any advice

    consider the query result (short description) as a string (say String S1). Use string tokenizer and get each word as a token. consider your search query(eg: cold) as another string (say string S2). check for each token if it is equal to your string S2, show it as bold(using <b>) else print it as it is.
    I hope this helps.

  • Thunderbird: Search term entered is auto-corrected, gives too many (wrong) results

    Trying to find email messages from Lowe's Home Improvement (lowes.com), entered "lowes" (with or without quotes) in the search field, which returned 1200+ emails containing the word "low" (without the quotes). There doesn't seem to be a way to force search to use the precise spelling, and not incorrectly auto-correct my entry.
    Am I missing something?

    Using the Quick Filter Toolbar was an improvement, but I still get results (92 of them) that aren't properly filtered. Specifically, when I enter '''lowes ''' (with a space following the '''s''') I get all instances of '''lowest'''. Putting a space at the end of the search term should limit the results to instances where the word is, or ends with, "lowes", as the space should indicate the end of that word in the search term.
    I'd understand if the search tools still need some refinement, but if Thunderbird search is actually designed to ignore or modify specific search terms in this matter, then we have a problem...

  • Where are FlashHelp Search Terms in Output?

    I need to find and remove some search terms in the output/generated files for a FlashHelp project. I have searched through all of the output and cannot find the terms I am looking for, but they are still there when I search for them when I run FlashHelp.
    Thank You,

    Hi there
    There are a few places the terms may exist. What version of RoboHelp are you using? And what RoboFlavor? (RoboHelp for Word or RoboHelp HTML)

  • Search terms: boolean and exact phrase

    I constructed my search terms per the "tips" to find messages containing the exact phrase "save as" and the word corrupt:
    "save as" AND corrupt
    the search returned a list of messages with the word "corrupt" highlighted as I would have hoped, but it also listed messages with "as" highlighted and even more bizarre, with the word "and" highlighted.
    Did I miss something in the discussion of boolean expressions? Do I have to do something special to cause it to treat "and" as an operator instead of as a search string????
    and why is it highlighting "as"???

    I'm not seeing how that answered any of my questions.
    I think my answer goes to this question:
    Do I have to do something special to cause it to treat "and" as an operator instead of as a search string????
    To:
    Nor does it illustrate that the exact phrase operation is working.
    You are correct. All it does is help you to get better results than you got using AND.

  • Script to find/replace regular to Italic based on search terms in .txt

    Sorry for such a newbie post.
    I have been reading on JS scripts for find/replace.  I'm hoping develop a script or find one that is written that
    1. Looks into a .txt or any searchable file format, containing search terms
    2. Script will run on the entire Indesign document
    3. For any matching search terms script replace the style from regular to Italic, or from Bold to Bold/Italic. 

    Perfectly doable. Do you want to give it a go yourself?
    A few first thoughts (things I'd probably solve myself while writing the script):
    1. JS can read any file, but getting just the plain text out of an MS Word document is kind of ambitious -- even for me. Keep it simple: if your search text is nothing but a list of keywords or short phrases, write them out in a plain text file, one search item per line.
    2. With that I presume you mean not on one single continuous story, but all over the file -- including loose text frames, master pages, and what-have-you-got. Thass' easy, you can set the target for a Find or Replace operation with pin-point accuracy.
    3. .. This is the interesting part, actually.
    (a) Do you want to change the text style? That will set an override "+" for the modified text. It would be safer (wiser, etc.) to change it using a character style. (For the script it doesn't matter which method you use, this is just for the Future You who is going to edit this file in 6 months.)
    (b) If you do use a character style: what should happen if there already is one applied? Not bold or italic, but underline, for instance. Applying a new char style will override this one.
    (c) The naive approach (which I probably would have taken first) is to first search for each of the search terms, go over the 'found' list and test for each single entry if it's in regular or bold, then take appropriate action.
    A better approach -- without knowing anything else about this document -- could be to blindly use Replace to change ALL search terms in "Regular" to "Italic" and ALL search terms in "Bold" to "Bold Italic". It sure would be faster.
    (d) Just like in the interface, you can search for a word and 'change' only the formatting -- no need to change the text as well. And just like in the interface, you need to specify "whole words" and/or "case sensitive".

  • Go straight to search terms within large webpages

    Hi can anyone tell me how to jump straight to the particular word you have typed into google, within a large webpage? On my PC the search terms you entered into google appear on the browser bar and you can just click on them to get taken to their various occurences within the webpage.
    Thanks.
