Show Error Messages

Syntax: select box

Show Error Messages determines the disposition of error messages during searches. It may be set to one of the following values:

None
Suppress all errors
In HTML comments
Show errors in HTML comments (for HTML result styles) so that they are not normally visible to the user, but can be viewed via View Source in a browser. In XML result styles, errors will be suppressed.
In HTML comments & query errors visible
Show errors in HTML comments (for HTML result styles), but show query-related errors (eg. ``Your query was all noise words.'') visibly (in grey boxes).

The default is In HTML comments & query errors visible. Note that in admin (test search) mode, all errors are always shown visibly, for admin perusal.
