Query options
These checkboxes allow some control of the query specification.
Case insensitive:
By selecting this checkbox the query will become case insensitive
(lower case and upper case letters differ). Otherwise, the query will be
case senstive.
The default is case insensitive.
Keywords match on word boundaries:
By selecting this checkbox, keywords will match on word boundaries.
Otherwise, a keyword will match part of a word (or phrase). For example,
“network”
will matching “networking”, “sensitive” will match
“insensitive”,
and “Arizona desert” will match “Arizona desertness”.
The default is to match keywords
on word boundaries.
Number of errors allowed:
Glimpse allows the search to contain a number of errors. An error
is either a deletion, insertion, or substitution of a single character. The
Best Match
option will find the match(es) with the least number of errors. The default
is 0 (zero)
errors. Note: The previous three options do not apply to attribute names.
Attribute
names are always case insensitive and allow no errors.
Result set Options
These checkboxes allow some control of presentation of the query return.
Display matched lines (from content summaries):
By selecting this checkbox, the result set presentation will contain
the lines of the Content Summary that matched the query. Otherwise, the
matched lines will
not be displayed. The default is to display the matched lines.
Display object descriptions (if available):
Some objects have short, one-line descriptions associated with them.
By selecting this checkbox, the descriptions will be presented. Otherwise,
the object
descriptions will not be displayed. The default is to display object
descriptions.
Verbose display:
This checkbox allows you to set whether results are displayed listing
the filename, host, path, and Content Summary each on separate lines, or
just with two
lines listing the filename (without a label) and the Content Summary (with
a label).
The default is verbose.
