I was just pondering this question yesterday. In a 12-piece
merged project the topics found list can become long, and you can't
tell immediately where they live.
My subprojects have topic headers in a consistent style but
with different text. In this case, it's Release Notes over several
tears for the same suite of applications.
But you have to open a topic first, and then find out it's in
Release 1 or Release 10.
What would be the simplest way to tag topic titles for the
search database?
Using FAR or a Perl script, you could append (a) to the topic
titles in one manual and (b) in the other manual. If you do this
last, the two TOCs won't pick up the tags. The Index, too, has been
set. You haven't changed the file name, the ID key.
The search compiler should pick up the revised title, I
think. Of course, you'll need a popup tooltip or permanent note
telling the user what (a) and (b) mean.
Haven't tried it. Is anyone game?
