    Hi,

    I set up a search to search within PDFs, which is working:

    However, it is also bring back images and pages. How do I restrict it to pdfs? The extensions above is set to pdfs,

    Thanks a lot!

    Not sure why that's happening. Here are some notes:

    1. Your code isn't visible. You have to click the curly braces while highlighting your code in the forum editor to ensure it renders properly as a code sample.
    2. You might want to consider trying this instead (it appears to be less costly in commercial usages): https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/examinefileindexer/
    3. If you want to keep trying UmbracoExamine.PDF, you might want to submit an issue here: https://github.com/umbraco/UmbracoExamine.PDF/issues
    4. You might want to try rebuilding the Examine index, or even deleting all of them in App_Data/TEMP/ExamineIndexes and then rebuilding again (just to be sure the data you are seeing isn't from an old indexing operation).

    Thanks I will try.

    What do you mean less costly in commercial usages?

    What do you mean less costly in commercial usages?

    The license section of the readme says this: https://github.com/umbraco/UmbracoExamine.PDF

    In case a third party integrates your open source application into a closed source application, he/she will have to procure a commercial license of iText.

    An iText license costs several thousand dollars. See here: http://itextpdf.com/Pricing/unit-based

    In contrast, ExamineFileIndexer uses Apache Tika, which appears to be free, as it's using the Apache license: https://tika.apache.org/license.html

    And the Apache license seems to allow for commercial usage: https://tldrlegal.com/license/apache-license-2.0-(apache-2.0)

    Hi,

    I installed ExamineFileIndexer. However, it only seems to be indexing the pdf file names, and not the actual contents of the pdf?

    I used the default configuration, described here: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/examinefileindexer/

    I also deleted the temp folder.

    Do you know how to get it to index the contents of pdfs?

    THanks,

    Damon,

    Can you log issue on github, also can you take a look at the umbraco log file any errors logged? Also how did you install it package or nuget?

    Regards

    Ismail

    I've never used it before, so I couldn't really tell you what's wrong. I'd start by checking for errors in the Umbraco error log.

    Also, you may want to submit a bug report here: https://github.com/thecogworks/examinefileindexer/issues

    Some things to try first:

    • Rebuild the index in the developer section (the Examine Management dashboard).
    • Ensure you have configured both the ExamineIndex.config and the ExamineSettings.config files.
    • Ensure you are looking at the correct index name (based on the documentation, that'd be "MediaIndexSet"). If you have search functionality built, it will have to be against this index.
