Question

Alternative search function (other than Zoom)??

Hi,

Has anyone used an outside search engine, other than Zoom, on their documentation? I've used Zoom successfully for a long time and have now been tasked with finding "something better" (don't think it exists, but I try). My requirement is that the documentation is delivered inside our software, so it's not hosted on a server, which already eliminates 90% of my options. We currently use Zoom Javascript. Most research has led me to think that the RH search and Zoom search are the only options available...

thank you!

Hi

I am actually using Zoom at the moment but having difficulties to integrate it into the adaptive version on Muse. The desktop version works 100% but results are not showing on tablet and phone. Will you perhaps point me in the right direction?

Thanks

I'm responding as I was probably one of the first to integrate Zoom into RoboHelp. How is described on my site.

The problem here is that this forum is for RoboHelp users, another Adobe product, and we have no knowledge of Muse.The search on my site uses Zoom and it works OK there on desktop, tablet and phone. My site was created with Dreamweaver. I can only suggest you ask on the Muse forum to find out if anyone has had issues with any pages that do not work on tablet or phone.

See www.grainge.org for free RoboHelp and Authoring information.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your prompt response. I had created a topic regarding Zoom integration a few weeks ago with no positive results. So I guess i have to keep testing different ways or look for an alternative to search engine. Will RoboHelp be compatible with Muse since is another Adobe product? I know is a long shoot but running out of alternatives. I have tried also Sphider but found the same integration issue with Muse, only desktop version working regardless if I create an adaptive or responsive version with Muse. Maybe I should look into a Muse alternative instead lol. Apologies for I missed the fact that it is a RoboHelp help forum and not Muse.

Thanks for your response and any help will be appreciated.

I use both Wordpress and Muse to created sites and I like Muse due to the fact that is very similar to Photoshop and InDesign and great for small projects but lately search engine and contact forms limited resources is making me think twice about using Muse altogether.

Best Regards

Perhaps you could create a really nice index. Then substitute it for the Search and rename it "predictive Search".

you will then be the belle of the ball! LOL
