Options you may want to modify" class="reference-link">Options you may want to modify

The section above listed all the options in seafevents.conf. Most of the time you can use the default settings. But you may want to modify some of them to fit your own use case.

We list them in the following table, as well as why we choose the default value.






























sectionoptiondefault valuedescription
INDEX FILESindex_office_pdffalse
The full text search of office/pdf documents is not enabled by default. This is because it may consume quite some storage for the search index. To turn it on, set this value to “true” and recreate the search index. See File Search Details for details.
OFFICE CONVERTERmax-size2
The max file size allowed to be previewed online is 2MB. The preview is converted for office/pdf files as HTML and display it in the browser. If the file size is too large, the conversion could take too much time and consume many resources.
OFFICE CONVERTERmax-pages50
When previewing an office/pdf document online, the pages displayed are the first 50 pages. If the value is too large, the conversion may take too much time and consume too many resources. Furthermore the browser can crash.
