Query related to search functionality

Post by yathi27 »

Hello.

I came through a problem with Search functionality after building a project (Online).
I have 30 topics in my content folder, whereas the topics included in the TOC are only 23. After building, if I search for a word or a phrase, the topics which are not listed in the TOC are also available in the Search Results. How do I manage this? I don't want to see the topics which are not listed in the TOC when I search for a word.

Is this known behaviour? Assist me with this. Thanks in advance.

What's the problem here that you're trying to fix?

(1) Do you want the topics in the output, but not included in search results?
You can set individual topics to be excluded from the search results.
See: https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare20 ... earch1.htm

(2) Do you want the topics removed from the output?
By default, all online help targets (like HTML5) will include everything that's in the Content folder in their output - which is useful since you might have content that's not in the TOC, or only accessed via CSH.
You can exclude topics from the output by (a) using conditions on the topics and excluding the condition in the target, or (b) using the target setting to automatically include/exclude content (which has a setting to only include content linked from the TOC).
For (b) see: https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare20 ... ontent.htm
