[Resolved] Paclet's Custom Documentation Not Searchable

Posted 2 years ago

I have a large documentation set (68 files) for my development paclet/package in Mathematica 13.2 on Windows.

  1. Each page in the documentation set has a set of Keywords listed in the v13.2 templates
  2. PacletInfo file uses the standard "Documentation" extension
  3. Using PacletDocumentationBuild and PacletBuild to generate the paclet
  4. Installing the Paclet using PacletInstall
  5. Paclet shows up in the Paclets\Repository in my profile as installed and works perfectly

Documentation pages, however, are not searchable. A search for my paclet name, or anything like it, generates the first (alphabetical) Tech Note (Tutorial) in my document set and nothing else. F1 does not work on function names in my notebooks and the info button does not bring up the reference page, but does the search on the function name, whcih does not yield any meaningful results.

First time search in the Documentation Center does not yield a re-indexing pop-up like it used to. If I check $UserBaseDirectory<>"/Logs/DocumentationSearch/MissingIndexCreation.m" There are no entries when the v13.2 paclet is loaded.

I've tried shutting Mathematica completely down and re-launching to no avail.

The search indices are being created in the build/documentation directory, but it looks like the search index files are going unnoticed by the Documentation Center.

What am I missing? Is there a way to force the Documentation Center to see these local index files?

Thanks, Jeff

Hi again Jeff,

This bug is now fixed properly, and the fix was released as a dynamic paclet update yesterday, as PacletTools v13.2.1.1.

To ensure you have the latest version, evaluate:

PacletInstall["PacletTools"]

And verify that the resulting PacletObject says "Version: 13.2.1.1".

Note: You may need to restart your Kernel session for the new update to become visible.

Please let me know if you run into any issues with the update.

Thanks,

Connor
