Navigating Search Hit Highlights
Now, when you run a search in a database with search hit highlights, Nextpoint will remove any field:value combinations, and carry any keywords through to the document-level.
For example, the below search reads folder:"BZ and BA Emails" AND (takeout test counting).
Upon clicking into any of the resulting documents and entering the document viewer, folder:"BZ and BA Emails" has been removed, but the terms takeout test counting remain in the search bar at the top center of the document viewer.
You will also notice the search terms are highlighted within the document.
The terms from the search bar will also be presented in a toolbar at the top left of the document. We refer to this as the PDF Search toolbar because PDF images are what facilitate the search hit highlights you see.
These PDF images are a new component of the document viewer and immediately upon release, will only be available in databases created on, or after, December 6. Read more at the end of this article as to how you will be able to retroactively fit your legacy databases with search hit highlights in the future.
Don't see the PDF Search toolbar? Make sure to toggle to the PDF Search Viewer Mode at the top left of your document.
