All,
I've just installed TextIndexNG2. I created a TextIndexNG2 index called
PrincipiaSearchSource in my Catalog. In the converters tab for this index, I
see this:
Mime-Types Description depends on
application/pdf Adobe Acrobat PDF pdftotext
application/vnd.sun.xml.writer OpenOffice
text/html Converter HTML to ASCII
text/plain Null converter
text/sgml, text/xml Converter SGML to ASCII
Why do none of the typical Microsoft converters show up in the above table?
This is on a Linux box and I'm not sure if things like wvWare are installed
(eg. for converting and indexing msword files). I can index a pdf file
object no problem, but word docs are ignored - they catalogged but their
text/content doesn't get indexed.
The converters shows this on my Win2K machine for the same converters tab:
application/msexcel, application/ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-excel
Microsoft Excel xls2csv
application/mspowerpoint, application/ms-powerpoint,
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint Microsoft PowerPoint pptHtml
application/msword, application/ms-word, application/vnd.ms-word Microsoft
Word wvWare
application/pdf Adobe Acrobat PDF pdftotext
application/postscript Adobe Postscript Document ps2ascii
application/vnd.sun.xml.writer OpenOffice
text/html Converter HTML to ASCII
text/plain Null converter
text/sgml, text/xml Converter SGML to ASCII
It shows all of the microsoft converters. I don't have the dependencies
installed on this machine so I know the actual index won't work. I'm just
curious as to why the two converter listings I've provided are different.
Thanks,
Tom Palermo
