    The problem could be that the search needs to be reindexed in order to find the "missing" InfoCenter topics. Here are the instructions to manually delete and rebuild the index for the InfoCenter.

    1. Go to C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\configuration\org.eclipse.help.base\index where SDP is the primary install location for Rational Developer for System z.

    2. Make sure Rational Developer for System z is not running. Delete the index directory within the 'org.eclipse.help.base' plug-in.

    3. Restart Rational Developer for System z, launch the InfoCenter, and perform a search. The index for the InfoCenter will rebuild automatically.
