Hi,
I have the following question:
The structure to build the documentation that I have adopted include:
\Project Robohelp Father
\Robohelp Project Child 1
\Robohelp Project Child 2
\Robohelp Project Child 3
The TOC project Father points to the files of the projects children that are compiled in the same directory. The search tool only finds topics in the parent project, as it refers to the files from the whgdata this project. Would be possible to transfer the contents of the project whgdata children to the same folder in the parent project?
Tks,
Fernanda.

No, absolutely not. Your folder structure for a merged WebHelp project should be as seen below. Are you generating the children properly?
Source folders:
Father
projects
Child 1
Child 2
Child 3
Output folders:
Father (including Father wh* folders)
mergedProjects
Child 1 (including Child 1 wh* folders)
Child 2 (including Child 2 wh* folders)
Child 3 (including Child 3 wh* folders)
Good luck,
Leon

You have an introduction with multiple child projects and development with multiple child projects. That looks like you are trying to merged various merged projects which cannot be done
Do you really need multiple projects for just an introduction? Multiple topics yes but multiple projects seems excessive.
If you follow the method of merging described on my site and also outlined by Leon, using just one merge as in your first post, then RoboHelp will create one search for the parent project and the child projects.
