WebHelp: opening a topic with search results highlighted

Report · Aug 04, 2010

Hello! I am using an external search engine to index a large documentation set, including some WebHelp output. I would like for the returned results to open matching WebHelp topics with the matching search terms highlighted. Is there a supported URL pattern for this, or does anyone in this forum have experience using additional JavaScript to do this? I'm happy to code it into a master page, but recommendations for a good starting JS library would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Jason

It will depend entirely on the search engine you use. I have used ZoomSearch and what you want can be set up there using code provided by ZoomSearch. You will need to approach whoever supplied your engine.
