Configuring document indexing
The following properties must be enabled before any document context will be indexed, either via upload or reindexing the asset:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
search.keywordIncludeContents |
If this property is true, the contents of document files will be searchable while performing both keyword and advanced content searches. If false, keyword search results will not include document content. Value options: true / false Requires restart? Yes |
searchEngine.contentIndexingEnabled |
If this property is true, document text will be indexed when a file of a supported format is uploaded or reindexed. Note that if you are turning this property on for the first time, any documents uploaded before the change will need to be reindexed or they will remain unsearchable. Setting this property's value to false will disable document content indexing. Value options: true / false Requires restart? Yes |
Advanced settings
By default, there is a restriction on the size of documents the system will index. The following properties adjust this default:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
searchEngine.contentIndexingMaxSize |
The value of this property should be the maximum file size of an asset, in MB, that NetX will index content for while uploading and reindexing assets. If an asset is larger than the value of this property, the content of the asset will only be indexed up to the size value of this property. This property applies to doc, html, pdf, ppt, rtf, swf, xlsx, and docx file types. The default value is 25000000. Type: number, in bytes Value options: No |
searchEngine.contentIndexingMaxPlainSize |
The value of this property should be the maximum file size of an asset, in MB, that NetX will index content for while uploading and reindexing assets. If an asset is larger than the value of this property, the content of the asset will only be indexed up to the size value of this property. This property applies to csv, eml, and text file types. The default value is 5000000. Type: true / false Value options: No |
