FileHold viewers – Highlight search results
FileHold can display the search terms highlighted within searchable documents. Searches can be conducted from the FileHold library or using the Search pane directly in the FileHold viewer. Search results are highlighted in green.
In the Search pane, whole word and case-sensitive options are available. Searches can be done in current page only or in the entire document.
The Search feature is available in all viewers. If a user has a viewer level 2 or 3, annotations can be applied to the search results using the context toolbar in the Matches area. The annotation can be applied to the selected match or the entire document.
Highlighting results in the full text search results or viewer is dependent on the technology. Two different technologies are used, therefore, search results may very especially when trying to use wildcards, symbols, etc. Only text is passed to the viewer search function so if the search criteria is nonsense to the viewer, it search results will also be nonsense.
