Search terms in WebHelp Pro using URL

I can navigate to the 'Search' tab using the following format:

http://<server>/WebHelp_Pro/Test/Start.htm#>>cmd=3>>pan=2

How can I pass along the 'search text' along with the URL so that text is searched for and the first matching result is displayed?

I am using RoboHelp 2015 to create the WebHelp Pro output.

Thanks

You're hosting this on a machine that's running RH Server, right? (because if you're not, you're going to have output that's optimized for RH Server)

No I am not using RH server. I hosted the WebPro output in a virtual directory on IIS.

So,

1) What output type do I choose to optimize it to achieve hosting in IIS as is?

2) How would the URL querystring look like? (I plan to point to this URL from different applications with different search terms possibly.)

1. WebHelp or Responsive HTML5 would be your normal choices

2. Not quite sure what you're trying to accomplish - most of the time you either link to the index page of the site and perform searches using the RH search functionality or you send people over to specific topic pages (referred to as Context Sensitive Help (CSH))
