<div><p>Each help context should be associated with a context-specific help search
expression, which the Eclipse help system will use to provide Dynamic Help
search results in the Help view.
</p>
<p>Documentation teams are responsible for defining the context-specific help
search expressions for each help context.

<p>For each helpKey constant, the help context should be
defined before the
help search expression is defined. If the Documentation team chooses to combine
multiple helpKey constants in a single help context, all of the helpKey
constants associated with that help context should be associated with the same
search expression.
