Excluding a topic from search

[Cynthia Pao]

I have a topic in my help project that is hidden. I've tagged it correctly and built a condition expression that excludes the topic from the TOC.

However, I can still find the topic when I use full-text search. I thought there was a way to exlude the topic from search when the topic is hidden. Am I mis-remembering?

I'm running RoboHelp 2022.2.22

Thanks!

You didn't need an expression. You can hide a topic in the properties.

You exclude the topic from search in the Topic properties.

The only thing is that I do not see the option to hide the topic in the output:

It's in the TOC properties, not the topic.

Right click the topic in the TOC.

Oh, goodness! Now I see it.

Thank you!
