Viewing the contents of a document

You can 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 comprises multiple DOC_LINK file system documents, only 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 text content of each indexed page. Images, JavaScript, and style sheets are not saved. Therefore, a cached Web page may look different from the original Web page.
