Dog Leashes
Dog leashes allow you to maintain control over your dog's
movements.
XMetaL Community Forum › DITA and XMetaL Discussion › Short Description in Eclipse Help Does Not Include Title Words
Assume I have a concept with this title and short description:
When I generate eclipse help and do a search for dog leashes, the topic appears in the search results with the short description. However, the title words “Dog leashes” do not appear in the description:
Dog Leashes (link)
allow you to maintain control over your dog's movements.
This happens with any topic type in which the topic title begins the sentence in the short description.
Is this a known DITA OT problem? I'm not sure if this is an issue with XMetal or the DITA OT.
XMetal:
Binary#: 11.0.0.084
Installer#: 11.0.0196
DITA Default Version 1.2
Thanks,
Adam
I suspect this may not even a DITA OT issue but possibly an Eclipse Help issue. Some issue with the search functionality?
When I generate output using the Eclipse Help deliverable from the same version of XMetaL Author Enterprise I get the following in the output HTML that is included with all the other files.

Dog leashes allow you to maintain control over your dog's
movements.
I'm not sure the specifics of how the Eclipse Help search feature works but it does not appear to need meta-data to be present to support searching, or at least I don't see anything in any of the other files the DITA OT is producing that would appear to be related to search and it is working but partially broken.
What happens if you modify the content to include additional text and then search for that instead of text appearing in the title?
What happens if you replace the occurrence of “Dog leashes” in the description with some other text and then search for “dog leashes”?
What happens if you search for “Dog leashes”, vs “Dog Leashes”, vs “dog leashes”? (case sensitivity?)
Perhaps that will provide some clues you can use to follow up.
Do you have pricing or sales inquiries?
Do you require technical support or have feature requests?
