What's New in Oxygen XML Webhelp 26.0

October 11, 2023

Related version: 26.1    

Oxygen XML WebHelp version 26.0 is the latest release for the modern XML publishing system that is used to produce stylish WebHelp output from DITA source content. This version introduces some exciting advanced search features that were implemented in conjunction with the upcoming release of Oxygen Feedback 4.0. Oxygen Feedback is a modern comment management platform that allows your community to easily interact with and provide feedback on your content and it has been specifically designed to seamlessly integrate with Oxygen XML WebHelp. The advanced search features listed below will be available soon, once Oxygen Feedback 4.0 is released.

Oxygen Feedback Search Engine Enhancements

Semantic Search

A Semantic search is a data searching technique that delivers more accurate results by understanding the real intent behind the search and providing an enhanced user experience. Oxygen XML WebHelp now supports semantic searches to help produce more relevant search results. This feature requires an integration with the OpenAI platform by specifying an API key.

Faceted Search

A Faceted search allows users to refine their search results by applying multiple filters that correspond to different properties or "facets" of the information being sought. WebHelp users can select one or more of these facets, and the search engine will return only the results that match all the selected facets. For more details, see User Guide Topic: How to Configure Faceted Search in WebHelp Output.

Search or Filter Topics by Labels

A new Insert Label action is available in Oxygen that can be used to insert a special label keyword in the prolog of a topic. These labels are then displayed in the WebHelp Responsive output. They are useful when performing searches in the output. For example, you can easily search for topics with the same label by simply clicking on the label presented in the WebHelp Responsive output. For more details, see User Guide Topic: How to Add Searchable Labels in WebHelp Output.

Topic Breadcrumb Now Displayed in the Search Results Page

When viewing search results, the breadcrumb now displays the ancestor topics of a selected topic. This feature helps you understand the topic's context, particularly when the search results appear to show duplicates. In reality, these duplicates are actually similar topics located in different sections of the map.

Advanced Search Queries

Oxygen XML WebHelp integrates the Oxygen Feedback Search Engine, which supports an advanced query syntax that allows users to create more complex, flexible, and useful queries that generate more precise search results. Some examples of these supported advanced queries include phrase searches, regular expression searches, and proximity searches.
