Search Applet as a Desktop Application

QuestAgent 8 applet offers fall-back search solution. If search applet doesn't work in browser for any reason (e.g. incompatible changes in future browser versions), you can run search as a desktop application.

To start search application, lookup for qagent.jar file in root folder of the publication you want to search. The qagent.jar file is a cross-platform Java application archive. Simply double click on the jar file to execute and QuestAgent's search panel should appear.

If jar files are not associated with Java on your system (usually it is by default Java installation), you may try running search panel from the command line. Open command prompt (console), change to the folder containing qagent.jar, and type:

   java -jar qagent.jar

Search panel will allow user to search for documents in available collections. Double click on a found item in results list will open document in default web browser.
