Search .chm Tips

Post by GeorgeBell »

Flare 2017 R2

Is there a summary of how an end user should use "Search" within a .chm which I can use as a guide?

For example, if I search for either "hard-space" or "hard space" it will display Topic containing either. If I omit the quotes, it will include either word, whether or not the dash/hyphen is used.

How on earth are you supposed to search for an exact match?

Hi,

it may depend on your skin settings (see framed item in screenshot).
Kind regards,

I'm afraid the only difference appears to be whether or not the Ranking column is displayed or not.
