Adobe RoboHelp Server 9 Reviewer's Guide
Other searching characteristics
A number of other search characteristics add to the experience of searching content on
the Adobe RoboHelp Server 9. These include:
• Unicode characters - Many customers now operate across different time zones
and continents. As a result their documentation can be in many different
languages. Adobe RoboHelp Server 9 searching allows for unicode characters (e.g.
Japanese) to be returned in the search results.
• Exclusion of topics - There may be specific instances where certain topics should
not be returned in the search results (e.g. popups containing little text or a context
sensitive help topic). With the ability to set an option in the topic properties of an
Adobe RoboHelp 9 topic, its contents are not searchable, and therefore not
returned in the search results.
• Stop lists - When an end user searches, they do not want certain words from being
included in the Adobe RoboHelp Server 9 search results. For example, if they use
the wildcard "for*" search keyword expecting to get back details of "forms" or
"formatting", they don't want topics with the word "for" in them. By adding such
"noise" words to the Stop List in each Adobe RoboHelp 9 project, such words are
excluded for the search index thereby eliminating them from being returned.
