Keyword Search

This option is available from the "Insert | HtmlHelp Control" menu and is a HtmlHelp specific option. The keywords that you see in the "Index" tab are created from your Topics and from when you right-click on selected words in the editor and select "Add as a Keyword". This HtmlHelp control inserts a means for you to click a button that will display several Topics based on the Keywords you enter.
