MRWul - You state: "Sometimes in binary newsgroups scanned magazines are uploaded. Those pages often are 'images' combined to 1 PDF file. That type of PDF file is nót searchable."
I believe we made need to make a distinction here. Is the actual issue that the file isn't searchable or that the searched for term or word is not "hit highlighted"?
It has been true of the X1 product for some time now that a PDF that is "image over text" does not allow for hit highlight but is still fully searchable.
Test this for a "type 2" PDF that you have in your X1 Search 8 Index as follows:
- In the Files > all Files or Files > Document search right-click the gray area between any two Refinement columns. From the menu select Choose Columns. Choose Index Status from the available columns on the left and add it to the selected columns on the right. Click OK.
- Search for a "type 2" PDF File by name. Look at the message in the Index Status column, what does it show? If it shows OK this indicates the file type is set for "full content indexing" and is OK to search for based on file content.
- Next, read that file to find something very unique - a rarely used word or series of words you can search as a phrase (leading the words with quotes "words to search"). Make sure the word or phrase is NOT part of the file name
- Clear the search based on the file name and enter the unique word or phrase only in the primary Search box.
Is this file again returned as a search result? If it is returned it, because you entered no other filters than the unique word or phrase contained in that file, you can rest assured it was found based on the file content. True, the hit highlight may not be present, but the search was still successful.
