Need help with search in Help [message #436155]

Hi all,

I have a stand-alone RCP application and have implemented a help system as a
seperate plugin. Everything works great except for the search funtion. It
does the indexing but it never finds anything that is entered into the
search box in any of the html pages. The strange thing is that the original
html pages that were generated when I created the plugin from the wizard
would show up in the search results as expected. For example entering
"main" would show all the Main Topic pages.

If anyone has any idea how to fix this I'd really, really appreciate some
pointers.

Thanks,
Jim

8/17 with no responses...

My problem is solved but I'm not sure what I did other than deleting
everything I could find that involved runtime:
runtime-workspace folder,
workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.pde.core/myapp. I also went to the
run configuration, cleared the plugins and fragments list and added them
back in.

and I suppose naively I was expecting the indexor to actually go fetch those
sites online and index them. Once they were save local everything worked.
