HTML 5 Search
HTML 5 Search
Is there a way for the HTML5 output to highlight text that was searched on? Also if I search on a word that is within a toggler (hidden) the text is not showing when I search on it. I would expect this to work like Webhelp where it expands the togglers and highlights the word being searched. Am I missing a setting\style where this can be changed for HTML5?
Re: HTML 5 Search
Nope, you're not missing it. There's another post related to this. Apparently MadCap decided highlighting search results wasn't necessary in HTML5 output. (Why, I have no idea.)
If you want the capability in HTML5 output, make sure to submit a feature request at http://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/submit.aspx. I actually submitted it as a bug report because to me it's a capability they took away, but when I submitted the bug I was told it was submitted as a feature request. That may just be semantics, though, but in case it's not, submit it as a bug report.

Re: HTML 5 Search
I also did request this feature, but still I wanted to ask if anyone here uses some kind of workaround for this Issue?
Lacking real javascript-knowledge I suppose you could trigger some script which highlights the term when the user searches. Does anyone use something similar or knows how to implement it?
Appreciate any constructive feedback!
Thanks

Re: HTML 5 Search
Yup, sign me up for this as well. Submitted a Feature Request.
My customers went nuts after realizing this feature disappeared when I offered HTML5 WebHelp.
My workaround has been to provide a link to the original WebHelp system. My help system has hundreds of long pages filled with tables that have a lot of part numbers; they need to be able to quickly spot a part number to read its corresponding description.
I'm no JS master, but I am working on my own custom solution. Let's see who gets there first--me or Flare's developers!

Thanks anyway for the info!
Re: HTML 5 Search
They added this in Flare 9. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble because the Remove Highlights button isn't removing all the highlights if you search for multiple words. Also, a drop-down is not expanded to show where the search terms were found within the drop-down. I will add another post and submit a bug to MadCap for this.
