Keywords not searchable in chm

[jep1955b]

I have what seems an odd problem.

If I add keywords (and tried A-Keywords), when I compile chm files (M$ help compiler (Hcc?)) the keywords show up in the index, but they do not "search" properly. I ONLY can search keywords in the topic titles/texts.

For instance - search for unit flat will bring up topics (including this one) since the words are in the text. Zone flat will do the same. If I add the word per, which is not in any text, only keywords - "No Topics Found".

I don't want to add a "keywords" block that is displayed at the end of each topic. Although that would work.

Am I missing something?

That's correct, you are not missing anything.
Help+Manual exports the topic keywords with a <meta> tag, but the Microsoft CHM compiler does not include this into the full text search index.

You could try putting the keywords in an invisible tag at the end of the HTML page template for CHM in your skin. Put this directly before the closing </body> tag in the template:

Code: Select all

<span style="display:none"><%TOPIC_KEYWORDS%></span>

Since that is then normal text, it should be indexed by the CHM search engine.
