Different Searchresult between webhelp generated in robohelp 2017 and robohelp 2019/2020

I am working at PengVin Affärssystem AB (Sweden)
We have recently upgrade from robohelp 2017 to robohelp 2020

We build the project as WebHelp / Responsive HTML 5

 

I have found that the "searchengine" in 2019/2020 does not receive the expected number of hits.

sometimes the difference is very large compared to the old.

 

For en example:

Searching for the word "Ordererkännande" (=order acknowledgement)
you got 29 hits in the old build

URL for test:
https://webhelp.prod.pengvin.se/webhelp2020/PengVinHelp.htm#Order/Orderregistrering_Q.htm

 

In the build from robohelp 2019/2020 you got none result .
PengVinHelp (listen2music.se)

The content in both cases is the same


If you search for the word "Fakturor" (=Invoices) you got even worse differences
94 hits in the old build and only 4 in the new build

If you search for the word "Faktura" (=Invoice) you got 
118 hits in the old build and only 149 in the new build

and so on...

 

In robohelp output we have these settings for search

    I am advised that this will be fixed in Update 5 which is planned for tomorrow (10th June).

    worth mentioning is if I build a Microsoft HTML Help (chm) from 2020 I got the same result as in the old build
