From Steve Woolley on the mailing list: During the course of testing our NLV doc plugins, I encountered some unexpected behaviour with the Help search mechanism: It transpires that any search term hits contained within the topic that opens when the user selects an entry from the Contents pane (<toc label="TOC_Name" topic ="topic1.htm">) are not included in search results (even in US English). For example, if my initial topic contains the term "Linux" and I perform a search on "Linux", the initial topic is excluded from my search results. I think it is fair to say that this topic generally gives a high level product overview, or provides some kind of information roadmap through the information (and is therefore important). For it not to be included in search results is surprising. I think it would be extremely useful for this topic to be included in search results. Would you like me to raise a bug? Whilst on the subject of the "topic" attribute of the "toc" element, was there a reason to call the attribute "topic" rather than "href" which is used throughout the rest of the navigation XML? It would make more sense to be consistent and use "href" (unless there's a good reason for sticking with "topic"!).
