Hi:

I have been trying to get a grasp of how to use ZoomSearch with WebHelp based on Peter's posts but I am unable to proceed. Here are my requirements so it would be great if you could walk me through. Thank you in anticipation.

1. My WebHelp is distributed on a DVD which is then installed with rest of the products by a customer.
2. These same WebHelp files are ALSO available online since they are hosted on an IIS Web server.

I did download ZoomSearch, but wasn't clear on how to integrate it into my WebHelp. I want the TOC to be always displayed when someone is viewing the content or the Search results.

Thanks,
K

I am in the course of writing a topic on exactly how to do this but at best it will be this weekend before it is complete. If not I will be away for about ten days and may not be able to upload it until I return.

The short version is in RoboHelp create a folder called say search_files. Create the search using Zoom directing the output to that folder. Go back to RH and import the search.html page that Zoom created. In the skin create a new button pointing to Zoom's html page. When you generate, deselect the RoboHelp Search and select the one you created.
