Broken search in HTMLHelp output   Message List

Greetings All,

Back when we were using DITA-OT 1.3.1, we created HTMLHelp .chm files
with no problems. Now that we've migrated to DITA-OT 1.4.2.1, our
HTMLHelp files still publish successfully and the Contents and Index
tabs are working just fine. Unfortunately, the full-text search is
completely broken. No matter what we enter in the search field we get
a "No topics found" message.

I'm aware of the persnickety nature of the HTMLHelp compiler
regarding encoding so I pulled down Deborah's wonderful "plus" plug-
ins and incorporated them into our HTMLHelp build process. As I am
building on a US English Windows XP system, my system encoding is
Windows 1252 and my .hhp, .hhc, .hhk, and all my .html files all
appear to have a Windows 1252 encoding . . . but the search still
fails every time.

Any ideas?

Best regards,

Paul Anderson

This sometimes happens to me when using HTML Help Workshop (which the toolkit uses on the back end) to generate a helpset and the machine runs out of memory...

Thank you Paul and Deborah for your helpful replies. It turns out that there was something wrong with my HTML Help Workshop installation. For a very basic...
