Is there a reliable way to push a specific topic to the top of Flare's search rankings? Say we have 10 topics that have the search term x repeated a varying number of times across them, in paragraphs, h1s and h2s. We also have another topic that provides a conceptual definition of x, but x only appe...

Has anyone successfully implemented a third-party search engine? On this thread from 2017, people stated that they were investigating options, but no one said they'd successfully implemented a product: https://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=29747 My team can't use Flare's Elastics...

Update: I fixed the conflict with SideNav by referring to Flare's internal version of Foundation using require.js and including this line in my script:

One gotcha is that the path you specify in the requirejs configuration must be from the topic to the script, not from the master page to the script - so if your topics are at different depths, you'll have to use an array of alternative paths rather than a single path. If requirejs can't find the sc...

Thanks for the reply. Linking to jquery-3.3.1 is the only way I've found to get DataTables to work. If I remove it, it won't work unless I go down the require.js route, which I haven't had much luck with. I suspect I'll end up using require.js. I didn't follow this - you say Flare fails to include y...

I'm trying to get the DataTables ( https://datatables.net/ ) plugin working with Flare. This is a JavaScript plugin that depends on jQuery. When I refer to the JavaScript files directly from the topic with the table in it, the output is fine. When I refer to the JavaScript files from the masterpage,...
