Why does the search function of my CHM file report "No topics found"?

I created a CHM help file using MadCap Flare. When I search for a term that I know is present in my text, the search function always reports "no topics found."

How can I fix the search function?

Solution

  • In my case the problem was fixed by registering itcc.dll on the machine where Flare is installed (the machine building the CHM.)

    C:\> regsvr32 itcc.dll

    The file is included with MadCap Flare as well as the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop.

    I have also found an article indicating that the language setting of the help file can affect the search function.
