USING ROBOHELP HTML 9 204 Linking and navigation Multiple language search RoboHelp search supports multiple languages at the project, topic, and paragraph level. For example, suppose you search for a German word in an English topic with an embedded German paragraph. If RoboHelp finds the German word, it displays the English topic with the German word highlighted. Substring search (WebHelp/Pro, FlashHelp/Pro) If you enable this feature, a search for "log" returns topics containing the words "catalog" and "logarithm." Substring search takes longer than whole-string search. Note: In merged projects, substring search works when enabled in both the master project and child projects. Phrase search To search for a phrase, enter it in quotation marks in the search box. If the search term is "color swatch," RoboHelp returns all topics with the phrase "color swatch". Boolean operators in search (WebHelp) You can narrow down the scope of search by combining search terms using the Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT. Customizable search results list (WebHelp/Pro) By default, ten search results appear at a time. In these two outputs, the Search pane contains an option for the maximum number of search results to show in a list. Topic context in search list By default, the search results list shows the first 60 characters of each topic to give context. You can disable the display of context by using the SSL dialog box. Note: Only WebHelp/Pro and FlashHelp/Pro support context in Help results. In Flash Help/Pro, the context appears as a tool tip. Search Office and PDF files (WebHelp/Pro, FlashHelp/Pro) You can search for baggage files (such as PDF, Word, and Excel files) in published output. To appear in search results, these baggage files must be referenced in a topic through a hyperlink. Note: You must have iFilter for Microsoft and PDF installed on to enable baggage file search. Rank search results You can rank search results based on their relevance. For example, if a word appears in the title of a topic, its rank is higher than the word in the keyword list. A topic with the word appearing in heading 1 ranks higher than the word appearing in heading 2 and is displayed first in the search results. Hide Rank column in search results For WebHelp and WebHelp Pro output, you can hide the Rank column in search results to allocate more space for displaying search results. The Hide Rank Column In Search Results option is available in the Search tab of WebHelp layout properties. See "Set options for generating WebHelp" on page 292 and "Set options for generating WebHelp Pro or FlashHelp Pro" on page 298. External content search External content search enables authors to display content from specified URLs based on terms that users are likely to search. You can create a list of URLs related to a project and, for each URL, provide a set of search terms, a title, and, a description. When a user's search query contains any of these search terms, RoboHelp returns the title and description of the corresponding URL in the search results. When the user clicks it, the contents are displayed in the Topic Pane.The URL returned in search results has the same rank as the keyword specified in topics. Set up and manage external content search 1 In the Project Set-up pod, right-click External Content Search. 2 Use the following options to set up and manage external content search: Edit Click Add and specify a URL, a title, search terms (separated by a comma, space, or semicolon), and a description in the editable row.
