How to Search?

May 18, 2012 12:49 PM

How do I do a Search in Adobe Forums>RoboHelp Support>FrameMaker Integration?  The training tutorial is no longer accurate, and there does not seem to be any way to search.  Thanks.  Bernice

    Oh nice. It looks like the recent update has completely removed search (I had a poke around, but couldn't find a search option anywhere). I'd recommend Google, specifying the URL to the specific forum. For example:

     

    site:forums.adobe.com/community/robohelp/robohelp_framemaker import styles

    Hi all

     

    I believe what you have to do is to drop into the main forum category. For example, Framemaker Integration. And from each of the main categories, Search should be visible.

    I assumed that  means posting a question on the forums... I think they have introduced a fairly major usability problem.

    Also, which posts a question and which searches?

    Hi Rick,

     

    Our IT professional person just came over and showed me how this works-- it is TOTALLY counter-intuitive, but yes, that is where the Search utility is located-- believe it or not, under the Ask a Question text box.  And then you wait while it auto-populates in response to your typed-in "question" or phrase.

     

    BAD design on Adobe's part, I must say-- this User Interface is TOTALLY not intuitive.  I had to spend hours just to find out how to "search."

     

    Thanks, though, for your  help.
