Search in Web Help: set "Phrase" option as default setting

Currently HelpSmith does not have an option to change the default search mode.

As a solution, you can achieve that by including a custom JS/jQuery script for the "Web Help Layout" of your Web Help system.

We have written a sample script that selects the "Phrase" match mode as default option.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#hs-navi-p #search-form #phrase').prop('checked', true);
});

You can include the "script.js" file (see the attachment below) to your help project at:

Project tab|Project Options|HTML Export|HTML Includes

It works, thank you!
