Enabling Full-Text Search
|
|
=========================
|
|
The Full-Text Search app indexes plain text, ``.docx``, ``.xlsx``, ``.pptx``,
|
|
``.odt``, ``.ods`` and ``.pdf`` files stored in ownCloud. It is based on Zend
|
|
Search Lucene, which is a good general purpose text
|
|
search engine written in PHP 5. The Zend Lucene index is stored on the
|
|
filesystem (in ``owncloud/data/$user/lucene_index``) and does not require a database server.
|
|
|
|
Using the Full-Text Search app is literally set-it-and-forget-it: all you do is
|
|
enable it on your Apps page, and then it automatically indexes all documents on
|
|
your ownCloud server. It does not index files on remote storage services or
|
|
devices.

|
|
|
|
When you want to find a document, enter your search term in the search field at
|
|
the upper right of your ownCloud Web interface. You can run a search from any
|
|
ownCloud page. Hover your cursor over any of your search results to see what
|
|
folder it is in, or click on the filename and it takes you to the folder.

|
**Known limitations**
|
|
|
|
It does not work with the Encryption app, because the background indexing
|
|
process does not have access to the key needed to decrypt files when the user is
|
|
not logged in.
|
|
|
|
Not all PDF versions can be indexed because its text extraction may be
|
|
incompatible with newer PDF versions.
