search function in RH2022

[LonTheWriter]

Hello, again!

Now that we've (you've) solved the import and skins issues, can we tackle the search issue I'm having, i.e., it doesn't work.

In RH2017, I could click the Search button and enter into the text box any word I wanted to find, and if it existed anywhere in the project, I would see a list of which topic and page it could be found.

Now, when I test the Search tab and look for a word I know is in the project (e.g., a topic title), I get No Topics Found.

Was gibt?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide...

Do I remember you talking about chm output before? Perhaps check that all the dlls are registered correctly. Search for MJ's Diagnostics - I think it's available through another tool vendor's site these days, but I can't remember which one - not the big 2, for sure.

I went to MJ's diagnostics and got this:

Hi, Peter!

I was just working with one of our tech people, who downloaded the FAR_HTML and got a report that said everything was okay, except that it noted we need to "Reinstall HTML Workshop." We didn't know that said workshop was installed in the first place. Keep in mind that our tech staff is not quite proficient with RoboHelp.

So, do we really need to "Reinstall HTML Workshop," and if so, how?

Thanks for your continued assistance!

...also wanted to specify that we used MJ's Diagnostics, as suggested...

Oh, you can get it from that site too - https://www.help-info.de/en/far-html/far-download/#microsoft-html-help-workshop 

[Jeff_Coatsworth]

Yes, you should have it installed if creating CHMs - see https://www.helpandmanual.com/downloads_mscomp.html for the download file.
