Our organization is just switching over from Robohelp 7 to Robohelp 9. We noticed that search results are sorted by rank, which is not ideal for our environment. I have checked through the entire Help file and cannot find mention of how to change search result order (we are using WebHelp Pro) in our Knowledge Base. Web searches have come up empty, as well.
Is there a way to sort search results alphabetically still?
Hi Benjamin and welcome to our community
If you dislike the suggestion of having to change the file each time you generate and you are willing to live with the fact that *EVERYTHING* you generate with WebHelp will sort the same way, you *CAN* actually modify what I refer to as the "seed" file so that you don't have to remember to modify each time.
To find the seed file, look where RoboHelp is installed.
For me, I find it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 9\RoboHTML\WebHelp5Ext\template_stock
You may find it in a different place. But I'd make a backup copy for Jusin (Justin Case) and modify the file you find there. At that point it should be pulled from the seed and used during each WebHelp generation.
Cheers... Rick
