Re: Search not working on Merging Chm files

Hi Will

Obviously I'm misunderstanding something. Please correct me and help me 
to understand.

You said that after you apply a conditional tag to something, it can't 
be found? Isn't that the point? You apply a condition, then use a build 
expression so what you applied the condition to will be excluded from 
the output. You create the output and what you applied the condition to 
should be absent. If this is what you are seeing, it is totally normal 
behavior and would be fully expected.

Or are you instead saying that things you applied a condition to aren't 
being found any longer among your source files? If this is the case, I'm 
not claiming it can't or isn't happening to you, just that I've never 
seen it.

Sincerely... Rick :)
