Question

Searching Confluence from WebHelp

My company houses its product knowledgebase on a hosted Confluence site, and I want to be able to search the KB from within our WebHelp system created in RoboHelp 7. Ideally, I'd be able to integrate the canned search functionality in WebHelp with the search API for Confluence, but I would definitely settle for a search box embedded in a WebHelp page that searches the KB. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

See ZoomSearch on my site. Would that work for you?

It looks like it might, Peter. This statement in particular looks promising: "Ability to include a search on an intranet or other information sources outside the project".

Now I just need to figure out the other end -- searching a Confluence site using this tool. I have a feeling it might not be all that straightforward. Hopefully either the ZoomSearch documentation or the Confluence documentation will help.

Thanks!

Looks like I got the answer to my question on the ZoomHelp user forum, Peter. Probably won't work without "a fair amount of custom development." Oh, well.
