Question

whole-word search in project

I'm running RH for HTML Help X4.1 on Windows XP. I want to search through all the text in all of the topics for a particular word or word string. Is that possible? I can't find anything that lets me do that? I realize this is NOT Win Help where I'd be searching a Word document, but it would be very helpful to be able to do a whole-word search of the project. Thanks.

Hi david. In X5 you just have to use the Just use the Find and Replace application from your Tools tab. I can't remember if X4 has a similar feature. I thought it has but it's been awhile.

Just a word of warning. It is good practice to close your RH project down as the in built tool does occasionally fail to spot instances in open topics/projects. Personally most authors on here prefer to use other tools (e.g. FAR or BkReplacem).
