Response Webhelp Search: Including Topics not in ditamap in Search

[dgallo]

Hello,

Currently we are in the process of merging all of our legacy content from an old authroing tool to Oxygen, this includes 10,000 non-dita topics .

With that being said, is there a way to incorporate topics that are not in the current ditamap (ie, the legacy topics from old authoroing tool) when searching from the ditamap transformed into reponsive webhelp using Oxygen?

Thanks,
Danielle

Hello,

Could you give us more details about your use case?

Do you have a collection of HTML files already generated that you want to be queried when you use the WebHelp search function?

Where are these HTML files located? Are they in the same folder with the DITA map?

I have a collection of html files already generated that I would like to be queried when I use the webhelp search function. These files live in a separate folder than the ditamap.

Example structure:

oxgyen webhelp folder
- ditamap
- dita html files
other html files folder 1
other html files folder 2
other html files folder 3

Hi,

The WebHelp search function relies on a small collection of files that store all the words from the HTML files included in the WebHelp output folder. These configuration files are generated by the WebHep Indexer task at build time by searching for HTML files in the output folder.

Therefore, a solution would be to already have the additional HTML files in the output folder before the WebHelp Indexer task to be executed. This can be achieved by using the webhelp.custom.resources parameter and set it to the folder containing all the additional HTML files. See more details in our documentation http://oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/18.1/ ... urces.html
