Search Index File

The search index file is used when a user performs a text search in Oracle Help, ordinarily from the Search tab. This file uses a proprietary binary format. Any third-party help authoring tool that supports Oracle Help should be able to generate this file. In addition, the OHJDK includes two utilities that generate a search index file:

The Helpset Authoring Wizard provides limited authoring support, including generating search indexes. See Using the Helpset Authoring Wizard.
The Text Search Indexer is a Java command-line tool that generates search indexes. See Using the Text Search Indexer
