To configure the Open/Find Resource options, open the
Preferences dialog box and go to .
The following options are available in the
Open/Find Resource
preferences page:
- Limit search results to - specifies the maximum number of results
that are displayed in the Open/Find Resource dialog box or in the
Open/Find Resources view.
- Enable searching in content - enable this option to activate the
In content option of the Open/Find
Resource view and Open/Find Resource dialog box. In
case this option is disabled you can only use the Open/Find
Resource feature to search in file paths.
- 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.
Note: The specified pattern must begin with the desired protocol (in our case
file) and also contain forward flash
(/).
- 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, enable this option.
Note: Enabling this option may
lead to delays when the indexing is computed.
- Exact matches - this option controls whether the search results
should exactly match the whole words that you introduce in the search field of the
Open/Find Resource dialog box or Open/Find
Resources view.
- Prefix matches - this option controls whether the search results
should match documents containing words starting with the searched terms. For instance
searching for "pref page" will find documents containing also "preference pages".
- Automatically join search terms using: - select the default
boolean operator that Oxygen XML Developer applies when you perform a search. For
example if the AND operator is selected and you enter "car assembly" in the dialog box,
the resulted documents must contain both of the words. If you choose OR, the resulted
documents must contain one of the selected search terms. Results containing both words are
promoted to the top of the list.
- Enable XML-aware searching for files with size less than - allows
you to perform an XML specific search
for XML elements and attributes.
Note: Enabling this option may slow down the indexing of
your documents and increase the index size on the disk.
- Stop Words - list of comma separated stop words. Words added in
this list are filtered out prior to processing a search query.
