# DefaultContentType

## Name

DefaultContentType -- defines default Content-Type

`search.htm`

## Synopsis

DefaultContentType {type}

## Description

DefaultContentType is useful when the `Content-Type` header is not configured using a Section command in `indexer.conf` and thus is not stored in the database.

When generating excerpts from a Cached Copy, search.cgi tries first to fetch `Content-Type` information from the database. If no information is found, search.cgi tries to detect `Content-Type` automatically using some well-know substrings like

    <HTML

or

    <!DOCTYPE HTML

in the beginning of the document, unpacked from the Cached Copy.

If automatic guesser fails to detect the document type, it chooses `text/plain` by default. With help of DefaultContentType you can change the default type, for example, to `text/html` or `text/xml`. However, the better idea (if you use Cached Copies) is to activate storing `Content-Type` using a proper Section command in `indexer.conf`.

## Examples

    DefaultContentType text/html
