Open/Find Resource Preferences Page
You can configure various options that pertain to the Open/Find Resource dialog box and Open/Find Resource view. To access these options, open the Preferences dialog box and go to Open/Find Resource.
The following options are available in this Open/Find Resource
preferences page:
- Refresh index when opening a map in DITA Maps Manager
- If selected, DITA maps that are opened in the DITA Maps Manager will automatically be re-indexed.
- Only index files referenced in the context DITA map as "resource-only"
- If selected, only files referenced as "resource-only" in the context DITA map or in
its referenced sub maps are indexed. By default, the setting is not selected. Tip: It makes sense to enable this setting if the current opened project contains lots of resources to speed up computation of the reusable components displayed in the DITA Reusable Components view's Components tab.
- Limit search results to
- Specifies the maximum number of results that are displayed in the Open/Find Resource dialog box/view.
- Enable searching in content
- This option is selected by default and it allows you to use the Open/Find Resource dialog box/view to search in content or reviews, as well as in file paths. If this option is not selected, you can only use the Open/Find Resource feature to search in file paths.
- Content search scope section
-
- Ignore content of these files
- Allows you to select specific directories, files, or file types that are ignored when you perform a search. For example, *.txt ignores all the .txt files, */topics/* ignores all the files from the topics directory, regardless of their depth, and file:/C:/tmp/* ignores everything from the tmp directory.
- Include the contents of these binary files
- Results from a search in the Open/Find Resource dialog box/view will be returned as a PDF if the PDF contains the searched text. If you want to disable this feature, delete the contents of the text field.
- Index the content of remote resources
- Controls the indexing of resources that are not local. For example, the
resources referenced in a DITA
map opened from a remote server (from a CMS or from a WebDAV
location) are not indexed by default. To index the content of these resources,
select this option.Note: Selecting this option may lead to delays when the indexing is computed.
- Content search options section
-
- Content language
- Use this option to specify a language for the search engine to use for the
current document. This is helpful if you have multiple languages within the
content of a document. The search engine will use a set of stop
words and analyzers tuned specifically for that specific language. By
default, it is mapped to the UI language
specified in the Global preferences page.
Therefore, you need to change this option only if the language of the text you
want to perform the search in differs from the UI language.Tip: If you select <Generic language (no stemming)> from the drop-down list, no word stemming is performed when creating the index. This might be useful if your content has many technical terms that should be indexed as they are.
- Stop words
- A list of stop words that will be filtered out of the search processing. The list is automatically populated based upon the specified Content language, but you can add or remove words from the list.
- When searching in content, return
- This option specifies how matches are returned when doing searches in content.
You can choose between two options:
- Exact matches - The search results match the exact whole words that you enter in the search field of the Open/Find Resource dialog box/view.
- Prefix matches (default) - The search results match documents that contain words starting with the search terms. For instance, searching for "pref page" will also find documents containing "preference page".
- Automatically join search terms using:
- Allows you to select the default boolean operator that Oxygen XML Editor applies when you perform a search. For example, if the AND operator is selected and you search for "car assembly", the matches must contain both of the words. If you choose OR, the matches must contain one of the selected search terms and results that contain both words are promoted to the top of the list.
- Enable XML-aware searching
-
When selected, you can perform XML-specific searches for XML elements and attributes.Note: Selecting this option may slow down the indexing of your documents and increase the index size on the disk.
- Index files with size less than (KB)
- Since indexing can be slowed down when the Enable XML-aware searching option is active, you can use this option to set a maximum file size to be indexed.
- Stop Words
- A list of comma-separated stop words, meaning that the words added in this list are filtered out prior to processing a search query.
