## 9.10 Providing full-text search (FTS) for HTML Help

For HTML Help, full-text search is created as part of compiling a .chm with HTML Help Workshop; see §9.13 Compiling and testing HTML Help. With default settings, you get FTS automatically when Mif2Go generates HTML Help:

[MSHtmlHelpOptions]

; UseFTS = Yes (default) or No (affects Help Project File rewrite)

UseFTS=Yes

Your .hhp file contains the setting for FTS, which Mif2Go includes by default while creating the .hhp file for you. If you create the .hhp some other way, you must make sure the .hhp file (not the Mif2Go configuration file) includes the following setting:

[OPTIONS]

Full-text search=Yes

For HTML Help to list the names of topics when a user clicks Search, you must specify titles for all topics, normally by specifying the Title property for headings at which you split FrameMaker files to create HTML Help topics. For example:

[HtmlStyles]

Heading 1=Split Title Contents

Heading 2=Split Title Contents

See §18.4.2 Specifying page titles for split or extract files.

Note: The HTML Help FTS is built entirely by the Microsoft compiler, and stored in an undocumented binary format within the .chm file. Omni Systems cannot do anything about problems you encounter with its operation.

If you are preparing HTML Help in another language, you must run the compiler, which builds the FTS index, in the target locale. See §9.13.3 Compiling in a different language.
