Result Panel Customization
The default number of parallel searches is set to utilize however many threads the underlying scheduler provides. This option is used to set a fixed limit on how many concurrent tasks will be used. This means you can decrease the number, but default (No fixed limit) will always use a many as can be scheduled. Use this option if dnGrep is impacting the performance of other applications. If you are interested, a log message has been added to the dnGrep log file to record how many parallel tasks were used in the search.
When set, this option will expand the results panel and hide the file filters panel to show the greatest number of files in the results.
When search files dnGrep may not be able to read all files in the search paths due to permissions, file protections, encryption, locked files, and files with no searchable text. When this option is set, those files will be shown in the search results with the error message. When not set, those errors will be shown in the dnGrep error log.
When checked the search results would include folder path along with file name:
When checked the search results would include X lines before and Y lines after matched line to see the context. Black lines are the matched lines and gray lines are the context lines:
By default if search pattern is not provided Search and Replace buttons are going to be disabled. When this option is checked, however, the Search button will become enabled even if the search pattern is not provided. When search is performed in this mode with search pattern empty the application will search for file names only and will not search file body.
When checked search results tree would always be shown in expanded state. This can be very slow for a large number of files, or with large files.
When checked the results will show more details about the number of matches and number of matched lines. There may be some performance impact depending on file size.
When checked files in the results panel will display a tooltip with file name, file type, encoding, size and last modified date.
This option sets the number of bytes shown on each line of the results when searching in "byte" mode.
Specify the number of items to retain in the drop-down lists.
The system maintains a list of past search patterns as well as past search folders. These lists can be accessed by clicking a drop down arrow next to the appropriate field. Clicking this button clears these lists.
