If the styling of the search result via skin settings is of no success, you might try to hide the file path and name by adding some css in your topic stylesheet:

/*Do not show topic name in search result */
#resultList .url cite
{
display: none;
}

Here are some other styles for the sear result ...

Yes, in that case the test was probably incomplete due to the ...

Hello,
Simona's bug message "bookmark links <a name=... don't work in Flare 2019 / Tripane anymore" made our alert bells ring. I contacted our vendor and Flare consultant and he made a few tests with a tripane project. He could not confirm that links wouldn't work.

So I tried it on my own and made ...

Maybe the decision is made internally by looking at the "Type" entry in the target file. There are different types:
- HTML5: Type="WebHelp2"
- WebHelpMobile: Type="WebHelpMobile"
- HTML Help (CHM): Type="HtmlHelp"
- PDF: Type="PDF"

In the skin file, you have the same type description in the ...

I put it into my seperate styles CSS, and it works!
Thank you so much Dave!

The "X" is also displayed in Flare's own help.
I deactivated the autocomplete in our's, and the "X" ist still there.
And here is an older version that does not have any autocomplete script, but the "X" is there:
https://www.eplan.help/help/platform/2.5/en-US/help/EPLAN_help.htm

We have the standrad Flare search but extended by an autocomplete script (jquery.easy-autocomplete.js).
But that should not have an influence on the "X" button. I compared it to Flare's own help, it's the same result:
Displays and works in IE 11 and Edge, does not diplay in Chrome and Firefox.

Hi,
I have a problem concerning the search input field of a HTML5 help system. Every time you enter a search term in that field, an "X" button is displayed in the right corner which is supposed to delete the search term entered.

In IE 11 and Edge, this button works. It is displayed, it can be ...

The problem is solved. Restarting the complete build environment made the modification of the path variables take effect.
The perl script works fine now.

Hello,
I have a problem using a Perl script in a post-build command that is executed from a target. The command is like this:
<PostBuild>chdir /D $(OutputDirectory)\Content\htm
href2htm.pl Company_Help_k_start
</PostBuild>

The first line changes drive and directory, the second line executes the ...

There is one more thing in Flare's XML Editor (web layout). Starting from version 2017 sometimes it is impossible to scroll down to the end of a topic. The last two or three <p> or <li> paragraphs are hidden, and the displayed text jumps upwards. You can move to those hidden lines with the cursor ...

There are two ways to solve your problem:
1) Insert a meta text "description" in your topics to avoid the appearance of code in the abstract. This text will be used for the search result abstract. You can do this in the topic properties.
2) Use some css to hide the abstract:

#resultList ...

Hello Aurelie,

this is not an issue with Flare or your Flare Project, but it's the browser. I encountered the same error message in IE11 (and a blank page as a print Output) a few days ago. Edge, Chrome and Firefox are fine, but IE11 refuses to print. The reason for this is a Windows update for ...

Hello,
there seems to be a difference between Flare 11 and Flare 12 when using the Madcap css style 'mc-disable-glossary-terms: true;'. We use this setting to prevent terms in specific styles from beeing converted into glossary popup links. For example, there's a class 'p.glossary' with mc-disable ...

I've found it - it was the 'body' style 'font-family: Arial' from Flare's Styles.css. When set to certain fonts (i.e. Verdana), this style caused the asian characters to move.
For Webkit browsers, there is a special setting 'font-family: sans-serif', so Chrome would not show this issue.
I've added ...

Hello,

in our HTML5 tripane help, there's a problem when displaying the TOC in asian languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) in IE 11. The first character of a tree-node text (collapsed or expanded) of the TOC 'moves' to the right and back. It looks somehow like a padding that is constantly switched ...

Hi,
you need to have a synonym file in your project. It is located in Project\Advanced with a file extension *.mcsyns. In this file, you enter misspelled search terms or words in a completely different meaning that will show a search result that you intend to be found. Whenever such a file is in the ...

Hello Dave,
thanks for your answer!

A string identifier name could be a good solution for us. We tried to add the identifier name in the FLALI value field to create a unique ID, but Flare ...
