Question

More details on search?

I have a RH2020.3.32 responsive html project.

 

When I use the search term Report-13 or even 13 I want the search engine to return a specific page.

 

Report-13 is a heading 2 style on the page (I thought H2 were used in search?), I've added the search keywords report-13 and 13 to the file. I've selected every search checkbox for the responsive HTML output. What does "Add special characters for search" do? I added the dash into the box, it doesn't seem to do anything. I am probably not using it correctly.

 

If I check - Display results with all keywords I get 0 results when searching for report-13, 13, and "report-13".

 

If I don't check Display results with keywords and search:

  1. report-13 - I only get results with the word report, the file I want is listed second but the Report-13 isn't listed in the text or highlighted so a user won't know to select that result.
  2. 13 - nothing - Shouldn't I get the file returned since I added 13 as a search term for the file? does search not work with numbers?
  3. "report-13" - I get the page and two other pages with the words report-13 in the body of the files.

 

I tried looking through RH help but didn't find much of anything useful. Is there somewhere I can read about how to configure search?

    Well I finally bit the bullet and rebuilt my project instead of upgrading it and now the search works as expected. I wish there was an easier way or a way to just rebuild the search.

     

    Thanks for your help.

    I have a six topic project for quick testing.

     

    Using Azure Blue I searched on Report 13.

    Sixth Topic has Report-13 as a Heading 2.

    Third Topic has Report-13 in the text.

    Second Topic as the number 13 in the text.

     

    That would seem to be the right order.

     

    These are the settings. No search keywords set.
