Search Fails to Find Item

I wonder if some of you have had the same issues I have with my Robohelp 2015 project.

The issue seems to rear it's head periodically throughout the day with my userbase of the Robohelp project.

Basically, the search function fails to find the results it should. Example, You search the word "Computer" and the results should yield a document called "Fixing your computer". Instead, you get a message from the search that no results were found. You then perform a refresh of the site and right away the project will find said document.

Sometimes, the search will return certain documents but not all that it should according the searched phrase/words.

This issue occurs on both IE and Chrome and on any number of Windows workstations.

This as you can imagine can be quite frustrating as users will search for an item and be unaware that the search function is not working correctly as there is no message stating that the system is not working as it should.

Any help is much appreciated,

Ian

Are you all patched up? Have you checked the "Stop" list? Maybe it's in there...

Thanks for the Reply Jeff!

Hard to say if I'm patched or not as I don't control any software installs, there's a national team that does it centrally.

As for the stop list, it's not one specific word, so I'm not sure that would apply.

Thanks,

I think that's up to date (I'm not running RH2015 so I can't check) - have you tried seeing if you get the same effect happening in one of the sample projects? If so, then you've got a good case for logging it as a bug in the Bug Tracker.

I believe that's up to date. Matches my 2015 version.

I too am very skeptical of the Stop List, as it was reported initially that sometimes the term is found. I would expect that if it were a term existing in the Stop List, the term would never ever be found. Not just intermittently.

I'm smelling a bug that needs to be reported. Use the link below:

Does "fixing computer" and / or "computer" work when "fixing your computer" fails?
