bc Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 In the past I was able to turn off the highlighting of search terms in VW Help. I can't figure this out with the current version. How does one turn OFF the highlighting of search terms? Thanks Bradley Quote Link to comment
0 rDesign Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) I never got any official confirmation from Vw, but I believe the ability to turn off search term highlighting was removed starting in Vw2016: Edited March 14, 2017 by rDesign Quote Link to comment

0 RGyori Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Frankly to me it is more than a minor annoyance and being able to turn it off would be much appreciated. Perhaps could be mitigated if the shading of the text were less.. ah, obvious. Bob Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 15, 2017 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 15, 2017 The more people that request this functionality here, the faster we may see it:http://www.vectorworks.net/support/help-feedback Still perfectly fine to start a thread about it, but the Online Help now has it's own wish submit form as well. Wishes submitted through the above linked form or the Forum wishlist will both go to the same place, but the dedicated form is faster. Quote Link to comment

0 bc Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 OK I was just watching a Webinar by Jonathan Pickup and he searched via the "What's This?" search option. I noticed when his results displayed there was no highlighting. So, for example I searched for Project Sharing using What's This? and voila! No highlighting albeit not the same results either: So if you can limit your search to whats this (for tools or menu commands) you can get some info without the highlights. Not ideal...but something. It does seem to imply that the non-highlighting is already somewhat implemented in the functionality. Or what DOES this mean? Quote Link to comment
0 Andy Broomell Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 This is a total workaround (ugh) but: If you delete everything in the URL after the second .htm, the highlighting goes away. For example, delete "&rhsearch=render&rhhlterm=render&rhsyns=%20". This of course has to be done every time, but if the highlighting is super bothersome this is one way to get rid of it.
