Question

Passing search parameters into HTML5 webhelp

Our product requires that our online help can be kicked off when the user enters a search term into the search box integrated into the product itself. This action should launch the help package, displaying the search results (the same as if the search string had been entered into the help package's search box). We were able to do this with webhelp but now want to move to HTML5 help. Can anyone suggest how we go about passing the inputted search parameters into HTML5, please?

Cheers

Add the following two parameters to the URL when you call the help:

rhsearch=<string to search, must be URL encoded>

ux=search

For example:

example.com/robohelp/index.htm?rhsearch=Getting%20started&ux=search
