RoboHelp11 - web help: stop words are appearing in 508 Compliant Output published help search area?

[Mary121]

Hello - I am trying to stop specific words and symbols from appearing in the search area of a Section 508 Compliant output.

This is what I tried: Edit > Search Metadata > Stop Words. Then I clicked New and typed the word or symbol in the stop list and clicked OK.

When I publish the 508 compliant project, the words or symbols still appeared in the search? When I look at the stop list the words or symbols I added are still on the list. I also noticed that the default Stop List and "Always Ignore" Words (for example: a, and, the...) are also appearing in the search of the published project?

I checked a different project with the 508 compliant output and see the same result.

Are there different, or additional steps to get Stop Words to work in RH11?

If you do a test with the Section 508 stuff turned off, do the Stop or Ignore words features work? It may be that the 508 stuff is messing with the functionality.

The stop and ignore features do work correctly when the Section 508 Compliant is not checked.

I'd suggest reporting this as a bug. It's likely something that was overlooked during development and beta testing.
