Google Search Appliance: Guide to Software Release 7.0 6
Document Previews in Search Results
In release 7.0 the Google Search Appliance provides document previews, which enable users to view a
preview image of a document without leaving the search results. The search appliance supports
document previews for Microsoft Word (doc, docx), Microsoft PowerPoint (ppt, pptx), and Adobe
Portable Document Format (pdf) documents.
The new document preview module prepares document preview images. When you enable the
document preview module and configure a front end to show document previews, a user can view
document previews, as well as page through and enlarge them.
To enable the document preview module, use the new Serving > Document Preview Module page in
the Admin Console. To learn more, click Help Center > Serving > Document Preview Module.
Translation of Search Results
Starting with release 7.0, the Google Search Appliance can translate titles and snippets in search results,
as well as cached documents into the user’s language in real time. The user’s language is determined by
the default language set in the user’s browser. When translation is enabled, translation links appear in
search results. The user can translate everything on a results page or just individual titles, snippets, or
cached documents. You can enable or disable translation for any front end. Take note that translate
does not work for the Document Preview feature.
To enable translation, use the Page Layout Helper on the Serving > Front Ends > Output Format
page in the Admin Console. To learn more, click Help Center > Serving > Front Ends > Output Format
- Page Layout Helper.
Index Limit Settings
By default, the Google Search Appliance indexes up to 2.5MB of each text or HTML document, including
documents that have been truncated or converted to HTML. Starting with release 7.0, you can change
the default index limit by entering an new amount of up to 10MB.
To change the index limit, use the new Crawl and Index > Index Settings page in the Admin Console. To
learn more, click Help Center > Crawl and Index > Index Settings.
Metadata Indexing Configurations
With release 7.0, you can customize configurations for metadata indexing. The Google Search Appliance
has default settings for indexing metadata, including which metadata names are to be indexed, as well
as how to handle multivalued metadata and date fields. Now, you can customize the default settings or
add an indexing configuration for a specific attribute.
To customize metadata indexing, use the new Crawl and Index > Index Settings page in the Admin
Console. To learn more, click Help Center > Crawl and Index > Index Settings.
If you have configured multvalued attributes for dynamic navigation in a pre-7.0 release, the search
appliance will automatically add these attributes under Index Settings when it is updated to software
version 7.0. After your search appliance is running 7.0, you will only be able to add multivalued
attributes by using the Crawl and Index > Index Settings page.
