Context:
We are currently configuring the Detail View and snippet return behavior within SAS Visual Investigator for our entity object types. Based on our current implementation, when a fielded search is performed (i.e., one or more fields are specified in the search query), the returned snippet includes not only the matched term but also several lines of surrounding context. While this may be useful in general-purpose search scenarios, our use case requires a more concise output.
As per VI Admin Guide:
Request / Suggestion:
We would like to restrict the snippet return in fielded searches to only the exact matched term, excluding any surrounding context or extra lines. In other words, we are looking for a configuration that returns:
The exact match only
No contextual preview or surrounding text
Matched term still highlighted (if possible), but no additional characters before or after
Clarification Noted in Documentation:
From the documentation (as shown in the attached screenshot), we understand that:
Snippet text is always returned with basic (free text) searches
The snippet text configuration in the Detail View applies only to fielded searches
Given this, we are seeking guidance or a configuration update on how to:
Disable or minimize the snippet text to return only the match itself for fielded searches
Example: When we search "emails:
Current behavior:
"...claimed they check their emails during the night..."
Desired behavior:
emails
