Search scope

[syed]

Hi,

We build Webhelp Responsive output. Is it possible for end-users to webhelp to set the scope of search to say within the top-level menus?

For example, if i am on a Getting started guide, i could search the topics only in that set.

Hi Syed,

Unfortunately, it is not possible at this moment to filter the result by the main chapters.

We already have a feature request registered for this and I have added your vote for it.
We will let you know when it will be implemented.

For what it's worth, please add my vote to this feature request.

I have used publishing platforms where, if you click a "set search scope" widget, a check box appears next to each TOC entry. Selecting or deselecting a check box automatically selects or deselects the check boxes of descendant items. You can then select or deselect those descendant items. Selected items determine the search scope.

I would like to see a similar feature in Oxygen WebHelp Responsive.

That's the same improvement request - for faceted search, that we logged.
Added your comment there.

Thanks, Costin.

If you feel like adding another comment to that feature, an alternative approach I've seen is to simply limit the search scope to the current topic and its descendants (without all those check boxes in the TOC).

Hi Graham,

I've added your comment, as-is on the issue.
