How do I search for a phrase in a published Help?

Report · Feb 17, 2009

This is probably a very basic question, but I've been unable to search for a phrase in a published Help. For instance, if I want to search for the phrase: subject information, I've tried "subject information", (subject information), subject NEAR information. I've received the same list of "hits" for all of these, but when I search for the phrase in any of the topics, it doesn't seem to exist.

I am using Adobe RoboHelp HTML 6 and use the WebHelp layout.

Thanks for any help - this is making me (and the users) pretty crazy.

Basically you have two options.

1] Use ZoomSearch as described on my site. It is low cost and gives much improved search options.

2] Upgrade to RH8 as that introduced phrase searching in webhelp.

Thanks so much, Peter! We'll look into both options.
