When trying to search within the CHM documentation, no results are found.

Solutions

  • In your HelpNDoc project, click "Project options" in the "Home" ribbon tab and make sure the project language and charset are correct
  • Make sure you are using a Windows installation setup with the same language as your HelpNDoc's project language
  • Click the top part of the "Generate Help" button in the "Home" ribbon tab to access the "Generate documentation" dialog, then select your CHM build in the list on the left, then click "customize" if the "Template settings" tab is not already visible on the right, then check the option "Use project charset for topics"
  • Generate the CHM documentation again
