What is the easiest way to search for a piece of XML inside all topics in a publication?

Hi,

I want to iterate through all the topics in a publication looking for a specific chunk of DITA.

Can someone advise if there is a feature in Web Client or Publication Manager that supports this requirement or if a Web API call or ISHRemote script would be best?

Any feedback appreciated,

Regards,

  • Hi Ann,

    You can try the Search functionality in the Publication Manager.

    So open the publication in the Publication Manager application.
    Select Edit > Search... from the menubar (or use the Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut)
    Set the 'Look in' dropdown value towards 'Current Publication'
    Provide the chunk of DITA to search for in the 'Find what' box. Do keep in mind that we you surround the text with " characters it will search for all words of the full DITA structure. Without the quotes it might search for each string after splitted by space character.

    Does this help?

    Kind Regards,
