I created a CHM help file using MadCap Flare. When I search for a term that I know is present in my text, the search function always reports "no topics found."

How can I fix the search function?

In my case the problem was fixed by registering itcc.dll on the machine where Flare is installed (the machine building the CHM.)

C:\> regsvr32 itcc.dll

The file is included with MadCap Flare as well as the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop.

I have also found an article indicating that the language setting of the help file can affect the search function.

    4 years later, let me thank you for posting this. Fixed my problem (with HTML Help Workshop creating a CHM [outside of Flare](https://github.com/Phrogz/docubot)). `cd C:\Program Files (x86)\HTML Help Workshop && regsvr32 itcc.dll` – Phrogz Jul 11 '13 at 20:53

Here is the Getting Started Guide. Chapter 4 has a section about Search, which might prove useful.
