Enabling WebSearch

Enabling WebSearch in your Help system allows your end users to access targeted Internet searches across multiple search engines, just by clicking a button.

Use this procedure to enable WebSearch in a Help project. Once enabled, the WebSearch button is displayed in the Help window. (You can change the button text.)

To enable WebSearch:

  1. From the File menu, select Project Settings. The Project Settings dialog opens.

  2. Click the WebSearch tab.

  3. Click the Enable WebSearch check box.

  4. (Optional) If you want to change the button text, enter the text in the Button Label box.

  5. Click OK. Save, compile, and run your Help project to see the WebSearch button.

Note: When you enable or change WebSearch settings, a WebSearch configuration file is created (ehelp.xml) If you are using source control software, this file must be writable in order to update WebSearch project settings.
