we have following problem with file system archiving..perhaps someone can help..
people want to search already archived files for "text-pieces" in it.
Is something possible?
I don't think it is possible with normal windows search on the files, since it is an placeholder.
But by adjusting indexing level, could it be possible that it the archived element is searchable for "text-pieces"???
I already crawled best practice for indexing by tony sterling but I think the document is mainly focused on indexing in context of mailbox archiving.
Depending on the type of searching but full indexing is going to provide you the the better options for searching
If you want to search for a string of text i believe you can do it with medium indexing but to be able to full detailed searching you need to have Full indexing enabled.
If you are already archiving and your indexes are not set to full already then you will need to change the indexing to full and rebuild your indexes otherwise the indexes that already exist will not indexed full so you wont get accurate results in your searched
thank you for your reply...
problem I have is that I want to search the content "Mill water tank" in the vault but it does only give me result of mail content not of doc file content.
indexing level on the archive is medium.
do i have to make a rebuild index if i perform a change to full?
how long can this take?
Where are you doing your search from when you only get the results from email
Are you selecting the archive for the file storage when you do your search
If you do decide to do full on the indexing then yes you will need to rebuild your indexes
The amount of time on the rebuild will depend on the size of the indexes, the speed of the servers and storage. It is hard to give a time as there are so many items in your environment that can affect the time
If you are using the browser search and you select the archive that has files in it and then you search on the archive you should only get back the results of that archive
Something does not seem right. Send me a screen shot of your search page so i can see what you see
It will archive the contents of the email but not the attachements.
This does change things
As Michel said, import the msg files into the users mailbox and archive them, then the email and content will be searchable.
The other way to bypass this from ever happening again is if you turn on journaling, This will pass every email sent or recieved to a jorunal mailbox which will be archived. Then you never miss any emails or attachements
thank you very much for your contribution.
i appreciate this!
nevertheless..the fact that there is an email can be ignored for now.
I want to find the document (doc file) which includes the search string I mentioned before.
I wanted to know if this is possible by changing indexing level to full.
Changing it to full wont provide what you need seeing as the file you want to search for is within a .msg file and as we explained attachements withing .msg files are not archived or indexed so changing your index level wont provide what you need
The solution you need is to import the .msg files into a mailbox and archive them. Then you can search for the contents of the files and find the document you are searching for
i see all in archiveexplorer, all docs all xls and so on...
perhaps i am searching the wrong way...
i am searching in normal search.asp with the option "content contains" and a search keyword, but only get txt files....
so i assume enterprise vault is NOT able to perform content search on the doc files...
