  • Alter the search result text length.Is it possible?

    Hi all,
    I have 1 basic qiestion that I cannot find an answer to (Checked the FAQ, PDF instructions and searched the forum.) but I might have overlooked it when scanning the info. texts.

    In regards to the results one gets after you done a search.
    Is it possible to alter the amount of text that are goinf to be displayed around the word a person has searched for?

    As an example if we take your site.
    I search for "dvd" and the result I get is:

    Is it possible to make it display more or less text if one needs?
    If shorter as example would be:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    or longer...
    Basicly in anyway control the amount of text thats goin to be displayed around the search word.
    And if one ca, where do you do it?
    Is this a easy changeble option or do you have to "hardcode" it somewhere (where in that case?).

    Thanks for your time.

    In the Zoom configuration window, on the Results Layout tab you can adjust the Context Size. The default is 30 words.
