The jhsearch Command

The javahelp\bin\jhsearch command is a command-line program that you can use to query the JavaHelp system full-text search database created with the jhindexer command. The jhsearch command can be used to verify the validity of a search database without invoking the help viewer.

To use jhsearch:

Win32 

    jhsearch database_folder
Solaris/SPARC 
    jhsearch database_directory
By default, the jhindexer command creates the database files in a database folder named JavaHelpSearch.
