8.10 Providing full-text search (FTS) for HTML Help

For HTML Help, full-text search is created as part of compiling a .chm with HTML Help Workshop; see §8.2.10 Compiling and testing an HTML Help project. With default settings, you get FTS automatically when Mif2Go generates HTML Help:

[MSHtmlHelpOptions]

; UseFTS = Yes (default) or No (affects Help Project File rewrite)

UseFTS=Yes

Your .hhp file contains the setting for FTS, which Mif2Go includes by default while creating the .hhp file for you. If you create the .hhp some other way, you must make sure the .hhp file (not the Mif2Go configuration file) includes the following setting:

[OPTIONS]

Full-text search=Yes

For HTML Help to list the names of topics when a user clicks Search, you must specify titles for all topics, normally by specifying the Title property for the headings at which you split the FrameMaker files to create the topics. For example:

[HtmlStyles]

Heading 1=Split Title Contents

Heading 2=Split Title Contents

See §17.4.2 Specifying page titles for split or extract files.
