Search in RoboHelp

Happy New Year everyone!

I found an article that provided a solution on how to categorize search results in RoboHelp. I could not post comments or ask questions on the site and thought that all the RH Gurus on this forum can help me. Please look at the referenced site.

I use Robohelp 10 and replaced the code in the whfhost.js with the code on the site. I get an error on the search pane. Has anyone tried this method and has it worked?

Any other alternatives?

Hi,

Thank you both for your replies. I just realized that I had posted the wrong link. The post I am referring to is:

http://www.helpscribe.com/2008/10/improving-webhelp-search-results-in.html

I am trying to improve the search in my WebHelp project and right now use most features RoboHelp offers. Synonyms, keywords in topics, and use other options given in the Search section when generating WebHelp. I wanted to see how effective it would be if I categorize the topics like mentioned in the post.

If you have tips and tricks to achieve this goal, please share it with me. I am also looking for any tips or rules followed when entering metadata on topics.

What’s the error you’re getting? Maybe Willam can help you out – he’s the js scripting wizard around here ;>)

As that is a post of 2008 (I think RH7 or before), I'm not surprised

that it doesn't work. A lot has changed since then.

What are you trying to achieve?

Kind regards,

Willam
