Hi there,
What's the meaning of "to get preview"? For example, look at the title to get preview.

Yes, you are right. I have seen the expression "get preview" many times, mainly in programming and computing tutorials and forums, but it is not correct without the article.

"Get preview" refers to have a preliminary or introductory overview, sample or idea of something.

You've seen it too? Can you post some examples. It seems rather odd.

It's used in two ways that I can tell from a Google search.
1. As a headline, eg. http://www.digitalspy.com.au/ustv/n...ericas-got-talent-finale.html#~oKsxLC7EEujlJO
2. To get the program Preview

And others.

Anyway, I have to agree with Raymott. "Get preview" is not correct without the article.

And regarding my allusion to the presence of this expression in programming and computing tutorials and forums, I have also to agree with you Raymott; it refers to the Preview function in CMSs, emulators and applications. Or as an adjective in expressions like "get preview images", although with a similar meaning.

..."look at the title to get preview"???
