Background

I use R2018b. I've created an online documentation for a toolbox.

HTML help files. I written m-files and used publish() to create html-files
info.xml file
helptoc.xml file

So far everthing works fine. My toolbox appears under the title, Supplemental Software. Switching betwwen my html-files by clicking the links in the CONTENTS pane to the left works well.

Now I have built a search database by executing builddocsearchdb('d:\m\BestPractices\m2uml_sandbox\tbx\doc'). Successfully ... . Searching seems to work. My html-pages turn up in the list of hits. "Refine by Product" by left-clicking my toolbox name works. However, my search terms are not highlighted in my html-page. When I search for custom documentation and select the "Display Custom Documentation"-page the search terms, custom documentation, are highlighted with a yellow and blue background, respectively. Nothing is highlighted in my pages.

I made the following experiment:

left-clicked "Documentation Home",
entered a search term unique to my toolbox,
a handfull of my html-pages populated the list of hits with my search term in bold.
left-clicked one of the pages
the pages opened, but no highlighting
right-clicked in the "Search Help" field and chose Find
entered the same search term in the "Chose Find" field.
the background turned red, i.e. no find.
repeated with a simple search term from the top of the page. Again: red background; no find.
restarted Matlab - no change
closed Matlab, deleted helpsearch-v3, started Matlab, run builddocsearchdb, Successfully created search database, but no change.

Question: What am I doing wrong or do I expect something that Matlab never promised?

Now I have installed the online help of Upslope Area Toolbox according to Build searchable documentation database. It behaves the same way as my toolbox online help. Thus, I probably expected something that Matlab never promised!

BUMP

Are search terms supposed to be highlighted in custom documentation pages?

Tech support answers: "[...] the development team [...] confirm that this is not currently possible. [...] The developers will consider your suggestion for a future release."

Thus, I expected something that Matlab never promised.
