Using Index in GN4 CHM Help
Contents
The fastest way to find a help topic in CHM help is by means of the keyword index.
To display the keyword index in CHM help
Click the Index tab of the help viewer
To find a help topic by entering keywords in CHM help
1.Click the Index tab of the Help viewer.
2.Type the first few letters of the word you are looking for and watch the list of found keywords that scrolls to bring into view the found keyword.
Note: As you type, the list of related keywords is rebuilt, selecting the closest match. If at certain point nothing gets selected any more, it means no matches are available for that keyword. Then, change a wording. Note also that the search includes only the first level keywords, e.g. it won't find 'changes' in the sub-keywords.
3.When you found what you were looking for, in the list, double-click it to display the related topic. If there's more than one match, a pop-up is displayed with links to all the matches. See also Using Locate button after finding a topic. See also "About keyword levels" below.
Note
If the keyword index doesn't work, or it doesn't work as you expect, please look at index related paragraphs in the Have problems with this documentation? topic. In Web help you may want to use the full-text search instead the keyword index.
Keyword index contains three kinds of keywords: •Normal keywords: they do not have sub-keywords, such as changing results view mode (see the left pane on the previous screen shot). Such keywords are clickable, so you can display the related topic. You can search for such keywords in both local help and in Web help. •First level keywords with sub-keywords, such as changes (see the first keyword on the left pane on the first screen shot of this topic). The first level keywords with sub-keywords are not links - you have to click a sub-keyword to display the related topic. You can search for such keywords in both local help and in Web help. •Sub-keywords, such as in GN4 versions (see the first keyword on the left pane on the previous screen shot). Such keywords are links, so you can display the related topic. You can search for such keywords only in Web help. Keywords can be multiple words. Keyword search is case-insensitive. |
