ZoomSearch Hyperlinks

[hylandwriter1]

I have converted my flash help to WebHelp and have used the structure in the
Peter Grainge demo for Merged Webhelp with RoboHelp7 exactly
(http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/merging_webhelp/merging_method_rh7.htm).

ZoomSearch compiles great, except...

The links in the zoomsearch results are broken. The URLs point to
"generate/search_files/mergedProjects/child_1" but my output (per the merged
WebHelp demo) puts the output in "generate/mergedProjects/child_1." I don't
know where I'm going wrong and why I am getting the extra "/search_files"
directory in the hyperlilnk. Anyone?.

:confused;

Check and recheck the instructions. I know they work.

If you cannot track it, after doing that, zip up the whole thing so that when
I extract it, I will have the same structure as you. Then send it via

Well, I took a new approach. I just worked with what I saw in the hyperlink
results and adjusted where I put the search.htm file. It turns out that when
both my "start directory" and "output directory" are the same, ZoomSearch works
and the hyperllinks work.

Now, I'm going to try Method 2 with the same structure. If it doesn't work, of
if you see something really dangerous with having these directories the same,
I'll zip up my project and send it. Hopefully, I've worked it out.

Sounds wrong and your search would include words excluded from the output by tags.
