Hi. The DISPLAY_SUMMARY starts at the beginning and goes to SUMMARY_DISPLAY_LENGTH whereas the DISPLAY_SNIPPETS is per line and displays DISPLAY_SNIPPETS_NUM snippets.

To get SUMMARY_DISPLAY_LENGTH to work with DISPLAY_SNIPPETS_NUM try the following.

In the libs directory, open search_function.php and find the following:

PHP Code:


			
if(eregi($reg_strings,$extract_content)) {

and right afterwards put the following:

PHP Code:


			
$match_this_spot = str_replace('<','&lt;',str_replace('>','&gt;',trim($match_this_spot)));

$match_this_spot = eregi_replace($reg_strings,"\\\\1<\\\\2>\\\\3",$extract_content);

$first_bold_spot = strpos($match_this_spot,"<");

$first_bold_spot = max($first_bold_spot - round((SUMMARY_DISPLAY_LENGTH / 2),0), 0);

$extract_content = substr($extract_content,$first_bold_spot,max(SUMMARY_DISPLAY_LENGTH, 2 * strlen($query_string)));

Now set DISPLAY_SUMMARY to false, DISPLAY_SNIPPETS to true, DISPLAY_SNIPPETS_NUM to X snippets, and SUMMARY_DISPLAY_LENGTH to Y characters so that X times Y equals 160.

Also, the length of the text displayed between the dots is dependent on the length of that line in the respective file in the text_content directory.

That means that if the length of the line equals Z characters, which is less than Y characters, then only Z characters will be displayed between the dots.

Remember to remove any "word" wrapping in the above code.
