Sorting the search result

Post by Lalitharaman »

Hi,

I searched for a particilar word in my .chm file. The search resulted 75 topics that are listed in the search output as per their ranking. I want the list to be displayed sequentially as they appear in the Navigation pane. Is it possible to do this?

Thanks,
Lalitha Raman

Hi, Lalitha,

Sorry, no, it's a limitation of the HTML Help viewer that the search results can only ever be sorted by rank or, if you've enabled the advanced search facilities, by topic title or help file location. See:

The following page provides extensive information on how to conduct advanced, focused searches that return fewer but more useful results.
