How to search on webhelp from an external application?

[Jose Luis Rocha]

I would like to search one or several words on webhelp from an external application.

I mean, when the user types one or two words on my application, the application would send an http request to webhelp site.
Webhelp should show the result of the search as if it were made directly on the "Search" option.

Sorry for my poor english, I hope you can understand what I need.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jose,

This isn't possible in the standard skins provided with Help+Manual. However, it is supported in the skins in the Premium Pack add-on, both in the newer responsive V3 skins and the older desktop and tablet V2 skins. See here in the Premium Pack documentation for the instructions for each skin type:

V3 Skins (section on URL Switches):

V2 Skins:

The V3 skins also have a lot of other things you can do via URLs:

My webhelp uses the Boxed Blue Diamond skin, so I trust I can do it.

Thank you very much.
