Search feature in HTML output for easy navigation

Shri · December 10, 2019, 9:11am

Can we have a search feature when taking out the HTML output?

It will be helpful to the end user in case of lengthy and complex documentation. It shouldn’t restrict to searching text in ToC. It should search everywhere. Probably not in the components which are ‘Initially hidden’.

If it is already there, then I’m not aware of it or couldn’t find in the user manual.

Thanks!

Hi Shri,

This feature is not available yet.
We’ll consider supporting it if there are more user requests.

Hi,

Now that there is no search feature, is there any API available so that we can customize a few things to suit our requirements?

Thanks!

Hi Shri,

There are JavaScript APIs mentioned in “Custom JavaScript in HTML5 Output” section in the user manual. But I’m afraid that there is no API for search feature.
I think you should separate your project into multiple short projects, and create an index page to link to those project outputs. Your users can search in the index page to jump to appropriate section.
