Removing Search Bar Drop Down - HTML5 output

Post by dizzo »

I am customizing our HTML 5 skin for our online help, and I cannot figure out how to remove the menu from the search bar. Does anyone one know where to remove those menu items from in the Skin editor? The skin editor does not show the menu, but when I generate help, there is it. Thanks!

It appears because you've set a Search Filter on the target; see the target Advanced tab.

I have the same question - how to remove the Search Filter dropdown from my brand-new, creating it straight from the MadCap TopNav templates project. When I look in the Target > Advanced > Search filters, the only option is

Code: Select all

Default
, and the edit button is greyed out.
So, in a brand new project, how do I remove the Search Filter dropdown?
Thanks

If you created a project from the template, then it already contains a search filter file.

If your target is set to "(Default)" that means "use whatever search filter file you can find".
There isn't a "none" option in the target, so if a search filter exists, it'll get used.

To remove it, go to Project Organizer and delete the search filter file.

I ran into a similar problem recently. I have a Search Filter set defined that I want to include in one HTML5 target from my project, but in another HTML5 target from the same project, I don't want to include any Search filters. I finally solved this by creating an empty Filter set and selecting that in my target, and creating a separate set of search bar skins/styles that exclude the filter. It seems like a kludgey solution, but it worked.
