Document Display

Menu option: Options > Preferences > Document display

Display of long text files
Very large text files can take a long time to open in the dtSearch viewer.  By default, documents larger than 16 megabytes will open in "Report" view, which shows each hit with a specified amount of context.  To switch between the report view and the full text of the document, press CTRL+R or click View > View as Report.

Report view
A report view of a document shows just the hits with the amount of context you specify, either in paragraphs or words. (dtSearch can also generate a search report, which shows the hits from all documents in the search in a document that opens in your word processor.)

Automatically update hit locations when opening documents with out-of-date index information
If a document was modified since it was last indexed, or if it was indexed with an older version of dtSearch, then word locations in the index for the document may be out of date.  Check this box to ensure that hit highlighting appears correctly after a search, even when index information is out of date.  

Display images in documents
Check this box to make images visible in documents that you open in dtSearch.

Block references to remote content (such as images or stylesheets)
Uncheck this box to allow dtSearch to download remote content referenced in a document.  Allowing downloads of remote content is not recommended unless you trust the source of the document.

Display HTML files with a <base> tag referencing the original location
This option affects how links in HTML files are interpreted when a document is opened after a search.  With a <base> tag, links in an HTML file to other documents referenced by relative location can continue to work.  However, this can prevent internal links within an HTML file from working because those will also reference the original HTML file rather than the hit-highlighted version displayed in dtSearch.

Disable JavaScript when displaying a retrieved HTML document
Some HTML files have JavaScript that will generate errors when the HTML is viewed outside of its normal context.   Check this box to disable JavaScript in HTML files when they are displayed in dtSearch.   (This setting only affects the display of a file in dtSearch and will not affect the original document.)
