Find all topics that contain specific content

[COHAN3]

The Find feature in Robohelp for html seems to only be able to find topics that contain the find criteria in the title of the topic. Can I do a Find that will access all the topics that contain a character, like a quotation mark, within the body of the topic?

I use the multi-file find and replace tool in the toolbox. If you are using RH 7 and do not see the tools tab, you will have to choose View>Pods>Toolbox to see this one. I generally switch the "named" file type to html since I'm usually concerned w/ the body of a topic.

Warning: If you work with multiple projects, be sure to update the "Where" path because it always uses the previous path that this feature was used.

Hi all

Personally I think we need to clarify whether COHAN3 is talking about looking through source content or compiled/generated content. Certainly the utility you mentioned would work for the source files, but it would fail on compiled/generated content.

I am indeed referring to source files and will try the multi-file find feature. Thanx!
