Re: [docbook-apps] WebHelp search - anybody working on improving?
We've been facing the issue too, and any tip will be appreciated.

    
The issue is that people are used to Google Search, and doing
      that on the client side is not easy ;-)

I use DocBook source with the docbkx Maven plugin
        to generate PDFs, WebHelp, and some HTML.
        

        

        
The WebHelp search is a source of frustration, mostly
          because it does not support phrase searches. So if you search
          for "source connectors", it looks for topics that have either
          the word source or the word connectors. While topics that
          contain both words do bubble to the top, the search does not
          specifically look for the phrase "source connectors", where
          both words are together in that order.

        

        

        
Has there been any effort to improve the search? Has anyone
          else implemented a custom search that supports phrase
          searches?

        

        

        
Thanks,
