You can index all files in the chosen directory by leaving the default *.*
pattern in the “Include files matching pattern” field or you can define your
own wildcard expression to restrict indexing to documents that match that
pattern. For example, you could enter
*.html
to only index the content in
documents with the
.html
extension, or you could use the following
pattern (complete with parentheses) to index all HTML documents:
(*.htm|*.html)
You can define multiple wildcards in an expression. See Chapter 2,
“Administering Enterprise Servers,” for details of the syntax for wildcard
patterns.

If this is the first time you index web publishing documents, check “Index
unindexed documents”.
In subsequent indexing operations, you can uncheck it or you may leave it
checked to index any new documents that have been added to the
document directory.
7.
If you want to make a change to files that have already been indexed, you
can use the “Update previously indexed documents” option to do a bulk
ownership assignment or to index the content of files that did not have this
option set when they were first indexed.
These options are useful when you change many files at once. You can use
the Web Publisher client to index and update individual files.
8.
To do a bulk assignment of ownership to all files that match your criteria,
you can select “Set document owner to” and type in a username.
Be sure to type in a valid username because the server does not perform
any validity checks on the name. This updates the owner property in each
file’s collection entry.
9.
To index the document content, check “Index document contents”.
You can choose to index the documents’ contents as well as their file
metadata.
