Thunderstone Search Appliance Manual

File URL Format

Syntax: choose from drop down list

Controls how file URLs are formatted. The Max Compatibility setting will format them as file://///server/share which both Internet Explorer and Mozilla-based browsers such as Firefox and SeaMonkey support, while the Internet Explorer only setting will format them as file://server/share.

Note that for Mozilla-based browsers you will also need to enable permission for HTML pages to open files by creating a user.js in your profiles directory (where prefs.js is) that contains (note: lines wrapped to fit the printed page):

user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks"); 
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites",
          "http://HOSTNAME");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled",
          "allAccess");

where HOSTNAME is the name or IP address of the search results as seen in the browser address bar.
