Question

Why are search results showing filename instead of topic title?

When I perform a search in the HTML5 output, results that point to the top-level topics display the filename and path rather than the topic name. Other search results (for secondary topics) display the topic title just fine. I am publishing HTML5 output from FrameMaker 2015.

    Was this ever fixed? We are seeing the same results in the latest build of FrameMaker 2019.

    Still see this in the 2020 version. Has anyone found an answer?

    I believe this is fixed in either a patch or in Fm 2017. Ensure you have the latest Fm 2015 release, and if so, download a 2017 trial to test.

    But make sure you do it on a non-production machine - you don't want to bork your existing install...

    Hi,

    just encountered same problem in one of my projects, Even with FM2015. Perhaps this could help you, finding a solution for your problem:

    This problem in our situation occurs, when the first paragraph in a document is filtered in HTML5 output. In our case first paragraph is a headline which should only appear in print output but not in webhelp. So we ignore this paragraph with the STS settings, and it doesn't appear in HTML5 Output.

    This works well in normal HTML-Output, but in Fulltext Search data (and some others like Index-Files) the filename and not the first heading for HTML5 appears.

    There are two ways to solve this Problem:

    1. Use conditional text in FrameMaker an let FrameMaker not HTML5 Publishing process filter this content

    2. Add die titel of the document to document metadata "File > File Info > Title"

    (not sure if second solution is practicable as this is hard in translation processes)

    Hope this helps
