WebHelp Quick Search: how to find partial match?

Post by Centauri27 »

The Quick Search in WebHelp appears to match only whole words. Is it possible to make partial matches? For example, searching for "report" on a topic does not locate "reports". The standard wildcard characters are not recognized.

I notice that using the browser's built-in Find feature does find fragments easily. This will be the workaround but it will appear to nullify Quick Search's usefulness.

Thanks.

Hi Carl,
That's a great idea for a feature request: https://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/Submit.aspx.

I like how Google Chrome and Firefox start highlighting as you type. Maybe MadCap can make the quick search do that as well.
