Check for software updates on start

Perceptive Enterprise Search - Local Administration Console will check periodically for updates, fixes or other Perceptive Search news and, if any are found, will open your default web browser, giving you the opportunity to download updates, read news, etc.

Preserve line lengths on Copy & Paste

When copying and pasting text from one program to another, keep the line lengths as they appear in the original document, regardless of how they may appear in the new program.

Browse results using native application

Launch the selected result immediately in the application in which it was written, without viewing it in the Perceptive Search Document Browser. For example, double-clicking a .doc file will launch MS Word to open the document.

Do not synchronize folder list on select index

When you select an index using the disk directory dialog, Perceptive Search will usually position the directory tree such that it initially points to the index currently open. When this option is selected, Perceptive Search will instead position the directory tree so it initially points to "Desktop".

Shared catalog storage

You may place frequently-used indexes in a catalog for easy future reference. This may be either a personal catalog or a shared catalog, in which case this setting determines the location of the shared catalog file. Users who wish to add to the shared catalog will require write access to this location. Other users will only require read access.

Result list date format

Define the format in which to display dates in the result list. The default is day/month/year (two digits). The following characters have the following meanings:

c Displays the date using the short format specified by the system locale.
d Displays the day as a number without a leading zero (1-31).
dd Displays the day as a number with a leading zero (01-31).
ddd Displays the day as an abbreviation (Sun-Sat).
dddd Displays the day as a full name (Sunday-Saturday).
m Displays the month as a number without a leading zero (1-12). If the m specifier immediately follows an h or hh specifier, the minute rather than the month is displayed.
mm Displays the month as a number with a leading zero (01-12). If the mm specifier immediately follows an h or hh specifier, the minute rather than the month is displayed.
mmm Displays the month as an abbreviation (Jan-Dec).
mmmm Displays the month as a full name (January-December).
yy Displays the year as a two-digit number (00-99).
yyyy Displays the year as a four-digit number (0000-9999).
h Displays the hour without a leading zero (0-23).
hh Displays the hour with a leading zero (00-23).
n Displays the minute without a leading zero (0-59).
nn Displays the minute with a leading zero (00-59).
s Displays the second without a leading zero (0-59).
ss Displays the second with a leading zero (00-59).
ampm Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and displays the AM/PM indicator as configured by the system locale.
/ Displays the date separator character configured by the system locale.
: Displays the time separator character configured by the system locale.

Increase Meta Data Relevance

Allows you to control how hits in meta data are relevance ranked compared to hits occurring in the body of documents. When set to none hits in meta data are considered only slightly more relevant than comparable hits in non meta data, and it is very likely that highly relevant hits in non meta data will rank ahead of hits in meta data. This control determines the amount of "relevance boost" is applied to meta data hits. When set to maximum, relevance ranking operates in a special mode where even the least relevant hit in meta data is considered more relevant than the most relevant hit in the non meta data, regardless of other merits.
