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.
