I am evaluating XMLMind Editor for a client of mine. I am very familiar

I really like it, but I cannot recommend it to my client because I
cannot perform targeted searches. For example if I search for "Key
analysis" using XMLMind, I get all results containing "key" and
"analysis" as shown in the image below even when I deactivate stemming:
I have looked at the Javascript related to the search functionality in
the Compiler and it appears that this is a significant code change for a
user such as myself.
Can you apply an update to support targeted searches so that only "key
analysis" results are returned in relation to the example above? Madcap
Flare supports this functionality but I am hoping to move away from
Madcap Flare.
That's right, searching for "Key analysis" gets you all the pages
containing both the "key" and "analysis" words.
There is currently no way to search the Web Help for a sequence of
words. That is, the quotes are completely ignored and

"Key analysis"

is considered to be equivalent to

analysis key

We'll try to implement the "search for a sequence of words" feature in
the next version of XMLmind Web Help Compiler
(https://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/whc.shtml) which is a small, free, open
source, software component, used by all XMLmind products, including
XMLmind XML Editor (https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/).
