Exact Match option for searching

Unread post by tinat »

I am using the .CHM format for my manual. When I'm in the Search tab it would be helpful to have an option at the bottom (where Search previous results and Match similar words, etc. is) called "Exact Match". I deal with a lot of users who aren't familiar with using quotations or the Boolean logic. I have advised them about the quotations ability, but I have been asked to submit this request. If they check "Exact Match" whatever phrase they enter in the Search field, would only return hits that exactly match the search phrase.

Thanks, Tina

Tina,

This is a wish you should address to Microsoft -- they are responsible for both the WinHelp viewer and the HTML Help viewer and all their capabilities, or lack of capabilities... 8)
