search and index for child projects

Question

Hello I have a merged RoboHelp 9 project.  Is there a way I can setup the project so that when the user does a search, the child projects are searched as well as the master?  Is there a way that I can used the Smart Index Wizard from the master project to produce an index which includes the child projects as well as the master.  Thank you for any help you can provide.

Welcome to our community, StevenSorry for slowness, forums seem hit or miss today.What you are describing is exactly how a merge should operate. All projects that are part of the merge should be properly searched and an Index would work across all projects. Because of this, I'm struggling to see a need to index everything from only the Master.As you likely already know, the Smart Index Wizard simply scans topics and auto-maps them to keywords in whatever project you have open. Sorry, but there is no way I'm aware of for the Smart Index Wizard to be used from the Master and coax it to index child projects. It's an interesting thing to consider and I would heartily encourage you to submit a Wish Form to ask for this functionality to appear in a future release. You do this using the Wish Form.
