builddocsearchdb - Build searchable documentation database

Syntax

builddocsearchdb help_location

Description

builddocsearchdb help_location builds a searchable database of user-added HTML and related help files in the specified help location. The help_location argument is the full path to the directory containing the help files. The database enables the Help browser to search for content within the help files.

builddocsearchdb creates a directory named helpsearch under help_location. The helpsearch directory contains the search database files. Add the location of the helpsearch directory to your info.xml file.

The helpsearch directory works only with the version of MATLAB^® software used to create it.

For a full discussion of this process, refer to Adding HTML Help Files for Your Own Toolboxes to the Help Browser.
