HTML5: Search filter box not displaying

[FrankyT]

I am not seeing the search filter box in HTML5 output. Is this normal? I can't find an option to enable or disable search filters. I see there is a "Search Filters" box in the HTML5 target's Advanced settings, but the only option available is "(default)".

The <DIV> for the search filter box shows up in the Firebug debugger, but is being rendered invisible by the stylesheet ("display: none"):

If I edit the search-filter-wrapper class in Firebug thus -

Code: Select all

.search-filter-wrapper {
    display: block;
    float: left;
}

- the filter box appears:

The filter box is shown in the Madcap example screens in the Skin > Style tabs.

Three things make me suspect that this is a feature that never got properly implemented:
- The absence of the filter box by default.
- The apparent impossibility of configuring the filter box to appear, except in a debugger.
- The fact that there is only one "Search Filter" string configurable in the UI Text tab, which has the default value "All Files". Not very useful!

Can anyone from MadCap confirm that this feature isn't operational?

Thanks.

You'll only see the search filter if you have one; have you created and set up a search filter in your project?

Sorry. I should have read the Help. (I know, I know... I only write the stuff...)
