search results in Microsoft HTML project

Report · May 24, 2008

Something strange has started happening... after compiling my HTML project, I am noticing that search results are being extracted from my table of contents pages, rather than the topic headings. So, for example, if a topic heading is "working in the console", but in the table of contents this is displayed as "working in" (under the higher-level node "Console", then if I search for the topic, the result I see is "working in" - which is BARMY! Has anyone any idea what might be going on? Thanks in advance, Ed.

Hi, Ed,

Have you recently switched to using a binary TOC? The topic titles that appear in the search results are derived from the TOC entries, if you're using a binary TOC, or from the <HEAD> elements of the HTML topic files, if you're using a non-binary "site map" TOC. The latter is the default.

THANK YOU Pete!!! That's it! I don't know when I clicked on that particular option. I must have been drinking.
