Exclude filenames from TREX index

Posted on Jan 19, 2005 at 07:48 AM 13 Views

Hi,

Is it possible to exclude filenames from being indexed? Example: You have the files file_1.doc, file_2.doc. You create an index of those files and then search for "file". The two files are found, even if in their content the word "file" does not appear.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Geert

    Hi Geert,

    this effect is of course intentional, as usually file names try to describe a files content.

    Undortunately, I do not think you can change this by configuration.

      Hi,

      The intention for taking into account the filename for indexing purposes is indeed very logical.

      The documents I want to index have an historical grown 'naming convention'. The file names sort of include the metadata of the files.

      If not possible through modifying TREX parameters, anyone an idea if it is possible to solve this through programming + how to start with that?

      I did check the TREX API but I did not find any class that could enable me to make TREX ignore filenames from being indexed.

      Thanks,

      Geert
