Full Text Indexing

By the end of this chapter you will have clear understanding of Full Text Indexing, its terms and their meanings.

Full Text Indexing can be enabled on a per-Data Definition basis. The schedule for when data is Full Text Indexed is configured in this area of Management Studio.

The Full Text Indexing options are described in Table 34.

Table 34. Terminology: Full Text Indexing Options

Term

Meaning

Enable Full Text Indexing

Select to enable Full Text Indexing.
Clear to disable Full Text Indexing.

User

Enter the DataStore®DSX user name under which you want the Schedule to run. If you do not enter a valid user name, the user name of the account under which you are currently logged in will be used. This User may be displayed in Audit Logs.

Priority

Select a priority from Lowest to Highest from the drop-down list. This setting can affect how much of the system resources are used to perform the Full Text Indexing. The Priority applies to all Time Slots. A High Priority ensures Full Text Indexing gets a lot of the system resources whereas a Low Priority uses fewer resources and so will have less effect on other applications running at the same time.

Batch size

Enter a Batch size value. The Batch size is the number of Data Items that will be processed at a time by the crawler. For data that is page based (Text, TIFF images and PDF) the Batch size will represent the number of pages that are crawled and full text indexed at a time. For non-page based items (Office documents) the Batch size will represent the number of documents that are full text indexed at a time. When the batch completes, no full text indexing is done until the scheduler kicks off another batch.

The ideal Batch size varies depending on the type of file being Full Text Indexed. For example, if only Microsoft Office® documents are being Full Text Indexed, a Batch Size of 5 might be ideal. If only text files are being Full Text Indexed, a Batch size of 500 might be ideal. Setting the Batch size to 0 means the internally set default value is used.

The value of the Batch size is internally limited to a maximum of 1000.

Scan images embedded in PDFs

Select this option if you are using Full Text Indexing on PDF files which have embedded images (often TIFFs) which contain OCR and you want the OCR to also be Full Text Indexed.

Clear this option if you do not want the images containing OCR (embedded in PDF files) to be Full Text Indexed.

Note: When the option Scan images embedded in PDFs is selected but the TIFF IFilter is not installed in the same location as the service is running, PDF documents containing TIFF images will not be indexed. This also applies to PDF attachments to Outlook messages. However, in this case, the rest of the Outlook message will be indexed, just not the PDF containing the TIFF.

Run PDF and IFilter indexing in a separate process

Select this option if, should problems occur with the Full Text Indexing process, you want to ensure the DataStoreDSX Service is not affected and continues to run. This option should be selected when lots of documents or large documents are being Full Text Indexed.
