Nutch 1.0 ms-powerpoint plugin

[Joe Bell <jo...@prodeasystems.com>]

Hi - this is my first post to the nutch mailing list, please let me know
if I commit any list protocol errors.

 

I'm currently using Nutch 1.0 with the Powerpoint plugin enabled and can
verify that Nutch is indeed pulling in the entire file for passing off
to the parser (i.e., I've set the content limit to -1 to get the full
file).  However it appears that most Powerpoint files with any
complexity (they use a template, have tables, images, etc.) do not get
indexed at all.  In one case I created a new file with one "title" slide
and the title text was recognized but the subtitle text directly
underneath was not.

 

My question is whether I'm missing something that has already been
covered (like for example,
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-463, though I don't see any
logs indicating issues in my crawl) or that this is a known defect in
the existing Powerpoint plugin?  It goes without saying that I'd very
much like to be able to completely index Powerpoint slides as this is
going to be the most common document type on my site.

 

Thanks,

Joe
