Slide 2 and Search in Binary Files
hi,
i need some information regarding searching in binary files (pdf, doc etc)
using slide 2.
Does slide support searching from inside the binary files? Does we need to
formulate the queries in some special manner for searching in binary files.
CONTAINS doesn't seems to work with such files.
Thanks.
Asif

Hi,
the slide search needs some redesign to fullfill the requests like yours
that come up quit often: Full text search capabilities of different
doc-types and even more important: speed. The current generic search is
doing quit well regarding the DASl-spec but is not fast enough with the
default store impls to be usable for complex queries.
As this is a complex task don't expect anything before slide > 2.1
Regards,
Daniel

Sorry, I should really look into the DASL stuff.

thanks martin ,
i haven't jump into DASL yet but can i summarize it as currently slide
treat binary files search
as simple text.
This is because when i opened word file in notepad and extracted a word
from it and build a CONTAINS query it returns the search results successfully.

Slide 2.0beta1 does not support CONTAINS or search in binary files.
There are discussions to add better search facilities to the
development branch.
