hi
I've red through most of the documentation trying to understand what
filetypes KS supports. There is the interesting oscon presentation on
http://www.rectangular.com/downloads/KinoSearch_OSCON2006.pdf, where
you can find the statement on page 13:
What is KinoSearch not?
...
- Not a file parser
...
So if I get this right, kinosearch doesn't care about your .doc, .xls,
.ppt files. As much as I personally try to avoid this formats, I think
its realistic to assume that you have to index such files when
creating something like an intranet search.
My question is, what would you suggest for indexing office formats ?
How do you extract text without ole and and an office installation on
the server?
thanks in advance
ben
