Why does my Search feature in WebHelp shows hyper-linked letters instead of a 'search' field?

My local config

Win7

IE11

RoboHelp 11 to WebHelp output

When I generate my latest output, the search feature opens with a hyper-linked alphabet in the search string field, and a bunch of linked numbers and letters in the results pane.

Selection of any item opens a sub-set of more linked items. How to I get back to plain old text searching?

And how do I get an image file small enough to add here?

Thanks for any help.

Hi there

One of two things has probably happened.

You may have enabled the "Section 508" output option.

Or you may have enabled the "Pure HTML" output option.

With either possibility, you need to examine the properties of the Single Source Layout recipe.

Cheers... Rick

@aviationanna – images can be added to forum posts by using the camera icon in the web interface – was that what you meant?

Hello and thanks for the response.

Yes I saw the wee camera but it's not 'take a snapshot', it's 'upload a file' and every format I tried was too big.

Probably just me.

Thanks again.

Anna.

Oh you guys are good.

Yes - Pure HTML was selected in the build profile. I should have seen that.

In typical fashion, I now have my search back but have lost the TOC lol.

This one I can fix myself but I thank you for the help.

Best.

Anna.
