Author Visual Studio 2005 Local Help Files Not Being Searched

Hi Everyone,

I've noticed when I try to search help in Visual Studio 2005 that it finds
results in the online providers (MSDN Online, Codezone Community) but it
comes up with zero results for Local Help every time. This used to work and
now it doesn't. I've uninstalled Help and re-installed it and uninstalled
Visual Studio and re-installed and it still doesn't work. Has anyone
experienced this problem? How did you fix it?

Thanks,
Cathy

Yep, same issue here. Not sure how to fix it but I have noticed the new
Help system sucks.

Thanks,

Matt

Have you tried going to the help Options and setting your preferences to use
Local help only?

Yes, but I had to select it about three times before it stuck. Go figure.

Thanks,

Matt
