I'm able to decompile *.chm file using hh -decompile <target_folder> <help_file.chm> in help_file.chm location (see Question: decompiling chm file: hh.exe requires only the filename. no full path is allowed)

This gives folder with all pages from *.chm as single *.html files in single subfolder of <target_folder>. So I can use my favorite browser to view, but there is no user friendly search option availible.

Do you know better browser for viewing (and searching in) *.chm help files (or maybe JavaScript library which allows help me to search or build index for search trough decompiled files)?

I'd like to:

  • Be able to open topics/links in a new tabs ✔️
  • Use mouse (rocker gestures) for navigation ✔️
  • Search in topic names (<H1>)
  • Fulltext search trough all files ✔️*

✔️ - This is possible in decompiled html files with my browser
✔️* - This is possible with with my filemanager, but it's slow and not so user friendly.

Thanks for your suggestions.

PS: According to this answer is possible to merge all HTML files (26 000 in my case) into single file and then use browser fulltext search (or JS search limited to h1 tag), but I'm a little bit scared by size of this page and its performance.
