Search
Ignore Asia character width: With this option selected, both half-width and full-width instances of the Asian language characters in the document will be found.
Ignore Diacritics and Accents: Ignore the diacritics and accents to find items with any variation of the alphabetical characters. For example, if you type “resume”, both “resume” and “résumé” will be found.
Always show more options in advanced search: Select this option to show the additional search criteria options available besides the basic options in the Search panel.
Show document title in search results: Check this option to display document titles in search results. However, if a document does not contain a title, its file path will be displayed in search results. If this option is unchecked, Foxit PDF Editor will display file paths in search results.
Maximum number of documents returned in Results: Specify the number of documents to be displayed in the search results. You can input any integer between 1 and 10,000.
Range of words for Proximity searches: Specify the number of words between which the search terms occur from each other when executing proximity searches. It is set as 900 by default, and you can input any integer between 1 and 10,000.
- Fast Find: Enable fast find to make future searches faster by storing information about your frequently used PDF files.
- Maximum Cache Size: Specify the maximum cache of search information for the Fast Find. The default value is 100 MB. You can input any integer between 5 and 100,000.
- Purge Cache Contents: Delete all the caches of search information.
If fast find is enabled, the cache of search information will be generated when you perform a search. When the cache reaches the limit size you specified, the earlier cache contents will be deleted automatically. And if you execute searches in PDFs that include both index and fast find cache, index will be used as the priority for searching.
