Full Content Indexing
Full content indexing is the ability to index the actual file contents of many
different document types. For example, reading simple text on a .dwg file or
finding all occurrences of a word in Microsoft
®
Word documents.
Enable Full Content Indexing
By default, full content indexing is not enabled. Full content indexing can be
enabled per vault on the Autodesk Vault server.
1 In the server console, select a vault from the navigation pane.
2 Select Actions
➤
Content Indexing Service.
3 In the Content Indexing Service dialog box, select Yes, enable Content
Indexing Service.
Microsoft Indexing Service
Unlike the standard property indexing performed by the Autodesk Vault server,
full content indexing is done using the Windows Indexing Service. The
Windows Indexing Service is enabled by default.
If the Windows Indexing Service installation is required
1 On the Windows Control Panel, double-click Add or Remove Programs.
2 In the Add or Remove Programs dialog box, click Add/Remove Windows
Components.
3 In the Windows Components Wizard, turn on the Indexing Services
check box and then click Next.
4 When the component is installed, click Finish.
When you enable the full content indexing for a vault, a new catalog is created
in the Index Server, prefixed with ADSK. This is the repository for indexed
contents.
The Microsoft Indexing Service is implemented as a shared server. There is no
degraded performance with checkin times, nor will the database size increase.
However, a full content search takes slightly longer to return results when
compared to a more simple property based search.
