Needed full search capabilities for the HTML
« on: February 05, 2012, 08:52:31 pm »
Hi, after EA tool dumps out the HTML files, then loading up the model on a web page, we really need the ability to search for material across the full model.  The only way to do this today is to go into each and every tree level, expand it, then perform the search.

This is a terrible experience.

Could we get a "Search Model" field/box added to the basic model HTML files?  Or a tutorial on how to add this to all output HTML files?  We really need to be able to customize the HTML output for our business needs and corporate standards.

Thanks again.

You would need a server solution for that. The current HTML output is meant to be displayed locally. A search thus would mean you have some Java Script running. You probably will not get that running locally without a SQL Server or a full text search.

Right, we are running on servers.  Basic html searching for model content is missing.

We get around this by publishing the models to our corporate intranet site, and then manually trigger the indexing of the static files using the intranet site's indexing/search solution.
