Search Not Working in CHM Output

I recently got a new laptop at work and had to install RoboHelp again on this new laptop. Since that time, the Search capabilities in my Microsoft HTML Help output is not working. When I try to search within the application that is running my created .CHM output file I get No Topics Found. We adjusted the Window Settings output to have Locate selected but that did not resolve the issue. I feel like something is missing on my new laptop but for the life of me I can't think of it. Just updated to v26 .03.13 and still not working. Thanks in advance for suggestions/help.
