Viewing the contents of a document

You can view the contents of a document, open the document, and find documents that are similar to a selected document. You can view and open documents imported from a file system.

You only view and open source documents imported from a database if they have been imported as DOC_LINK references to file system documents. If a document is composed of multiple DOC_LINK file system documents, the first referenced document is returned for viewing.

Documents that have been imported from a Web site contain links to both the original URL and a cached version of the page.

NoteThe Web robot saves only the textual content of each indexed page. Web content such as images, JavaScript, and style sheets are not saved. Therefore, the cached Web page can appear different from the original Web page.
