Question

Can I have a Text Search in HTML Help output?

Hello,

I'm relatively new to Robohelp and while testing the possible output methods I found that there is no internal text search function available for the Microsoft HTML Help (.chm) file.

Does anyone know if it is possible to enable this function?

Thank you

Holli

Not sure what you mean by "internal search". If you mean a search for the user, you should be seeing a search tab.

BTW. Please see the Sticky Topic - Before You Post. It didn't matter this time but you should always include your version of RoboHelp as it can affect the answer.

Hello,

Thank you for your help.

Yes that is exactly what I want to appear when I generate the Help file but I don't get a search tab:

Could you tell me how to get the search tab to appear?

Thank you

Also thatnk you for the help reguarding "How to post" this is my first go so I'll have a read of that now. Also it is the version 9.

In Project Setup, right click the Window used. Make sure Search Tab is ticked.
