Search URL/Breadcrumbs are not displaying the same way for all files

Maybe this has been discussed, but I could not find an answer after searching. Some of the Search URL/Breadcrumb paths are not displaying all the same way in my project.

I would like all the search result URL to display as breadcrumbs, but some are not. I'm pretty sure this has to do with the TOC structure, but is there some kind of a workaround? I have confirmed that the files which display the filenames only are indeed in the TOC.

For all the files which display the breadcrumbs on the content page as:

Home > Section

The search results URL displays the filename and folder, NOT the breadcrumb path. For example,

++++++++++++++++++++

Getting Started
Requirements, Administrator Tasks...

getstarted/overview.htm

+++++++++++++++++++++++

In the case above, it would be great of the search displays the breadcrumb:

Home > Getting Started

For all the files which display the breadcrumbs on the content page as:

Home > Section > Subsection

The search results URL display the breadcrumbs in the search results. For example,

+++++++++++++++++++

Prerequisites

System and software requirements...

Home > Installation > Prerequisites

+++++++++++++++++++++

Correct answer Peter Grainge

I have been looking at the breadcrumbs in the topic, not the search. My apologies as you were clear.

I get your point that the two are different, at least I do now, but that is the way it is. What you want is how it works in 2020. Take a look at the RoboHelp Tour on my site.

Whoops! Logged in to my other computer and checked RH2020 and it shows toc breadcrumbs for topics in the toc and seems pretty consistent from a quick test.

(I can't keep up with the random changes in new UI 😛 )

Ah! It's via a master page either way, it is simply whether the master page is linked to topics or specified in the SSL. Thanks @Jeff_Coatsworth

Yes @Peter Grainge - there used to be 2 ways of breadcrumbs - one in the master page header & one in the SSL choices.

I'm also thinking that there is some logic to this. If a topic is not in the TOC, how can the TOC book name appear as there isn't one for that topic.

I have confirmed the pages are indeed in the TOC. (that was my first check)

Something is bugging me here. At one time I believe there were two ways to add breadcrumbs, via a master page and via a checkbox. I can't see that anywhere now so does anyone else remember that?
