Hi, Boggym,
I'll try to answer as best as I can, but my experience of
creating non-English help files is limited. I hope that someone
with more knowledge in this area will be able to help you.
To address your last point first — "I am not so sure if
Microsoft made the localization as it should be" — the search
facility in Japanese help files should work as well as it does in
Western language files, provided that you have set up your help
project and build machine appropriately. My understanding, which is
really only based on the information on the
Helpware
site, is that it is essential to change your system's default
language to Japanese before you compile. I guess you've already
done that, though.
In the following newsgroup discussion, Dirk Bock (a long-time
contributor to this forum) reports that he had to compile on a
system running the Japanese version of Windows to get the search
facility to work:
microsoft.public.helpauthoring:
Japanese Full-Text Search
The following Japanese site may give you some useful
information. It was created by Yuko Ishida, a former Microsoft Help
MVP.

In your other recent message, you said:

If it's HTML Help Workshop that you want to download, you can
get it from here:

I would guess that you don't really need this, however, as
RoboHelp should install all the components that are required to
compile an HTML Help file.
