Title: Re: [dita] DITA 1.3 documentation -- shall we remove the Contains and "Contains by" tables

You are saying that the false hits are in the search only, right? When I view the HTML version of the spec, the contains/contained by links work just fine.

I don’t have any solution to the search problem.

Thanks and best regards,

 Re: [dita] DITA 1.3 documentation -- shall we remove the Contains and "Contains by" tables I think it’s useful. Let’s fix the false hits problem so it works. I use this feature all the time.

   As we start working on DITA 1.3 documentation, we need to consider whether to include the Contains and "Contains by" tables in the Language Reference topics.

  

  Pro = Useful information

  Con = Makes it impossible to search the spec and find information about a specific element, since there are so many false hits. For example, if you search the PDF version for indexterm, you get over 130 false hits before you land on the actual topic.
