[fpc-pascal] How create a full text search with TChmWriter?

[Žilvinas Ledas]

I think you should set chmPrj.MakeSearchable := true; (where chmPrj: 
TChmProject;).
At least I set it (with an ~1 year old lazarus+fpc and lhelp build) and 
I can search for (complete) words in generated chm using lhelp.
(I think I do not set FullTextSearch to true though).


Regards,
Žilvinas
