Indexing Your Documents
408 Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide
4.
If you want to index a different subdirectory, click the View button to see a
list of resources.
5.
You can index any directory that is listed or you can view the subdirectories
in a listed directory and index one of those instead. Once you click the
index link for a directory, you return to the Create Collection window and
the directory name appears in the Directory to Index field.
6.
You can index all HTML files in the chosen directory by leaving the default
*.html
pattern in the “Documents matching” 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 either of these
patterns (complete with parentheses) to index all HTML documents:
(*.htm|*.html
or
*(.htm|.html)
You can define multiple wildcards in an expression. For details of the
syntax for wildcard patterns, see “Using Wildcards” on page 431.
Note
You cannot index a file that includes a semi-colon (;) in its name. You must
rename such files before you can index them.
7.
To also index the subdirectories within the specified directory, click
“Include Subdirectories.”
8.
In the Collection Name field, type a name for your collection.
The collection name is used for collection maintenance. This is the physical
file name for the file, so follow the standard directory-naming conventions
for your operating system. You can use any characters up to a maximum of
128 characters. Spaces are converted to underscores.
Note
Do not use accented characters in the collection name. If you need
accented characters, exclude the accents from the collection name, but use
accented characters in the label. The label is what is displayed to the user
from the search interface.
9.
In the optional Collection Label field, type a user-defined name for your
collection.
