About this parameter

String used as an ellipsis indicator when a snippet is truncated.

Usage notes

  • Defaults to an empty string for all applications created before March 10th, 2016.

  • Defaults to "…" (U+2026, HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS) for applications created after that date.

Indices created in 2021 and 2022 may have an incorrect default value. To fix that, explicitly set the value for snippetEllipsisText.
