Menu option: Options > Preferences > Indexing options
Index document properties
If checked, dtSearch will index document summary information fields in
Office, PDF and WordPerfect documents and META tags in HTML files.
Index filenames as text
If checked, dtSearch will append the filename of each document to the end
of the text during indexing, so that text in a filename will be searchable
like other document text.
Index HTML scripts, styles, links, and comments
Normally HTML scripts, styles, links and comments are not indexed and dtSearch
will index only visible text and META tags in HTML files. Check
this box to make these hidden HTML elements searchable.
Index numbers
If your documents contain a lot of numbers and you do not expect to want
to search for them, clear this checkbox to make dtSearch exclude numbers
from your index. This will make your indexes smaller and will speed
indexing.
Enable numeric range searching
By default, dtSearch indexes numbers both as text and as numeric values,
which is necessary for numeric range searching.
Use this
flag to suppress indexing of numeric values in applications that do not
require numeric range searching. Numbers
will still be searchable as text if the Index
numbers option is checkced.
This setting
can reduce the size of your indexes by about 20%.
Index hidden content in Office documents
(such as macros)
In addition to the normally visible text, Office documents can contain
a wide range other embedded data, such as macros, viruses, or other embedded
documents. Check
this box to make these items visible in dtSearch.
Index NTFS Summary Information streams
Check this box to have dtSearch index NTFS Summary Information data for
each document indexed. NTFS
Summary Information properties are created when you right-click a document
in Windows Explorer and enter values in the Summary Information fields
(Author, Subject, etc.)
Index field names in XML files
Index field attributes in XML files
Check these boxes to have dtSearch index field names or field attributes
in XML files. If
both boxes are unchecked, dtSearch will only index field values in XML.
Default location for new indexes
By default, indexes will be created in your dtSearch UserData folder.
You can specify a different location here. (In the Create
Index dialog box, you can override this setting for each index that
you create.)
Automatically recognize dates, email addresses
and credit card numbers in text
Check this box to have the dtSearch indexer scan for anything that looks
like a date, email address, or credit card number during indexing. With
this option enabled, you can search specifically for text matching credit
card numbers, email addresses, or ranges of dates. See:
"Automatic recognition of dates, email
addresses, and credit card numbers."
