Indexing Actions | Description |
|---|---|
| File name only | Indexes the name of the file, generic metadata (author, date modified, title) and its location on your computer. This option is recommended when you are not sure if content indexing is supported for a given type of file. |
| Document content | Scans the entire document, indexes the text contents in addition to the file name, metadata and location of the file on your computer. |
NOTE: YOU CAN USE THE WILDCARD * TO COVER MANY FILE TYPES AT THE SAME TIME. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN ENTER THE TYPE .A* TO COVER ALL FILE TYPE BEGINNING WITH THE LETTER "A".
