One huge enhancement found in Adobe RoboHelp 8 over older versions of the program is the improved Search features you get out of the box. First of all, RoboHelp now ranks the Search terms in order of importance. Nice. Secondly, the Topic's title and first few sentences of each found topic now appear on the Search tab.
While I'm happy about the Search rankings, I've had more than one customer tell me that the topic content that appears along with the topic makes the Search panel too cluttered. No matter, you can easily disable the feature.
- On the Single Source Layouts pod, show the Properties of the layout.
- Click the Next button to move to the second screen.
- From the Search Options area, deselect Show Context in Search Result.
- Generate and view the layout; then use the Search feature.
You'll notice that the topic is still found, but only the Topic Title appears.

With the introduction of topic content in the search results, I think it is time for the search results to appear in the topic pane rather than the navigation pane. That would also make it look more Google like which has become the standard.
