Excluding a topic from search

  • October 27, 2023

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!

Cindy

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

     

     

    You exclude the topic from search in the Topic properties.

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

     

    Right click the topic in the TOC.

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