Cache Documents

Allows document text to be compressed and cached in the index to improve context results and speed up document browsing.

Cache MetaData

Retains a copy of the document metadata in the index for faster retrieval and allows metadata to be used for document categories

Concurrent

Allows updating and queries to be performed simultaneously

Date Recognition

Enables dates to be handled intelligently in queries. Also allows dates to be used in range queries. This will increase the size of and slow the index slightly, although this should not be noticeable unless there are large numbers of dates. There are a large number of valid dates recognized such as 4 15 94 or 15-4-94 or 15-apr-94 or April 15th, 1994, etc. (Regional settings will determine if 4-12 is recognized as December 4 or 12 April. )

Dot Handling

Allows dots occurring in the middle of a string of characters which appear to be forming a paragraph number (e.g. " 3.2.12") to not be treated as word separators.Dots at the start or end of a word are not considered significant.

Entity Recognition

Specifies the search engine to recognize and index entities (people, organizations, websites, email addresses and locations). The Enterprise Search lexicon can be augmented to include organizations or individuals whose names are not being reliably detected.

Fuzzy Precompensation

Attempts to compensate for OCR and typographical errors in scanned documents. For example, searches for duck would also turn up cluck. This will increase index size and indexing time slightly. You should also notify users when it is in use to avoid confusion.

Include

Points to another index for chaining indexes together. Delimiter – Semicolon “;”

Example: \\file-cluster1.objectwareinc.com\ECO1\SharedLibraries\Company\Company_English\CMS\ISYS;\\file-cluster1.objectwareinc.com\ECO1\SharedLibraries\Company_LatinCompany\CMS\ISYS

Insignificant

The list of characters to be considered insignificant. These are individual characters which are part of a word but are not regarded as important. Insignificant characters are treated as if they are invisible. For instance, if the hyphen is made insignificant then words which are hyphenated will be treated as one word, for example post-graduate would be indexed as postgraduate.

The default insignificant characters are the apostrophe ('), underscore (_) and single quote (' '). To add new insignificant characters enter it in the insignificant field (without separators). To delete an insignificant character simply delete it from the field.

MetaData Limit

Controls the maximum amount of metadata which will be stored by the CacheMetaData keyword. Defaults to 6kb, and may never exceed 64k per document.

Language Encoding

Specifies the Language Encoding of the Documents in the Index. Selecting Korean, Chinese, Hong Kong Chinese or Japanese enables multi-byte character support in Perceptive Enterprise Search.

Note: This will not change the language of the documents being indexed.

Number Recognition

Enables numbers to be handled intelligently in queries, including numerical ranges. This option works in similar way to the Intelligent Date recognition option but for numbers only. For example, the number 1,029 could be expressed in any of the following ways and be recognized as being the same.

1029 - 1,029 one thousand and twenty nine - one thousand, twenty nine - 1,029.00 - 1 029 - one zero two nine -a thousand and twenty nine

Note: The Index dots when embedded in words or numbers option will be automatically enabled when Intelligent Number recognition is used.

The list of characters to be considered significant. These are individual characters which convey meaning and are an important part of a word. The numbers 0 through 9, the letters A to Z, in both upper and lower case, and the international character set are considered significant and are automatically placed in this category. You may want to specify other characters to suit your purposes. For instance, the dollar sign ($) if you need to search prices. As an example, if the hyphen was made significant then post-graduate would be indexed as post-graduate and a query for postgraduate would not return post-graduate and vice versa.

To add new significant characters enter it into the significant field (without separators).To delete a significant character simply delete it from the field.
