Re: [platform-help-dev] Discrepancy between Help System and Infocenter v

["Dorian Birsan" <birsan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Eddie, this is the intended behavior in 2.1.
The issue is about persisting user's settings: if the scope (working sets)
were exposed in the infocenter, than any client would have to have its
settings stored somewhere. In the workbench scenario this is simple, there
is only one user, but in the infocenter you can have tons of users so there
is a need to identify them and be able to persist any settings.
This is being looked at in 2.2, so if you have any suggestions please post
on this mailing list.

Thanks,
-Dorian

Hello,

We have found a discrepancy between the Help System and Infocenter versions
for 2.1:

In the Infocenter version, there is the possibility of selecting an
Advanced Search  but no Search Scope.

On the Help System version, the converse takes place (Search Scope but no
Advanced Search). Also, the Search Scope does not seem to be working
properly, because it displays topics outside of the search scope. To
recreate this:

1. Select the Search Scope link adjacent to the Go button.
2. Select Search only the following topics radio button
3. Click the New button.
4. Click the + sign next to one of the books listed
5. Select one of the sections (e.g. "Concepts")
6. Perform a search for something that you know that IS NOT in the section
you specified above.
7. Notice that the topic you search for still appears. It should NOT appear
because it is not in the specified section.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Regards,

Eddie
