Build Identifier: 3.4.1.r341_v20080731-9I96EiDElYevwz-p1bP5z-NlAaP7vtX6Utotqsu The dynamic help window shows the string it is searching on to return results. However, for my product, it is only finding five occurrences of the string, when many more (and much more relevant) exist. I am prohibited from attaching my full help plug-in, so I've provided a screen shot of the dynamic help results and then a screen shot of one occurrence of the string that is in the same doc plug-in as the ones dynamic help is finding. I've checked the HTML to make sure that no extra spaces or strange characters are in the source. Reproducible: Always

Are there other pages in your document set which match all of the four words in the search phrase?
(In reply to comment #3) > Are there other pages in your document set which match all of the four words in > the search phrase? Yes, at least two more with the identical string.
It's hard to say why some pages would be missed by a search without seeing the actual pages. Here are some possible reasons why results might not be found 1. The pages are not in the table of contents and not in an "extradir". 2. One of the search words only occurs in the document as part of a larger word. 3. The search index is not up to date and documents have been added since the search index was built.

Look for this folder underneath your workspace and delete it. This contains the merged search indexes. .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.pde.core\pde-junit\org.eclipse.help.base\index
The path I just gave would be for if you launched a new workbench from Eclipse. If you are just launching one instance of Eclipse look in the installation directory and delete this folder. eclipse\configuration\org.eclipse.help.base\index

It would be great if this kind of information could be included in the documentation.
I'm glad to hear that worked, closing.
