      Description:
      Configuring the attachment types that can be full-text indexed

      You can control which attachment file types to allow to be full-text indexed.
      About this task
      By default, all file formats that are supported by Tika 1.18 are full-text indexed with the exception of the following ones:

      .au, .bqy, .cca, .dbd, .dll, .exe, .gif, .gz, .img, .jar, .jpg, .mov, .mp3,.mpg,
      .msi,.nsf, .ntf, .p7m, .p7s,.pag, .pdb, .png, .rar, .sys, .tar, .tar, .tif, .wav, .wpl, .z, .zip.

      Use notes.ini settings to define your own list of attachment types to allow to be full-text indexed.

      Procedure

      To define your own list of attachment types to allow for full-text indexing, add the following notes.ini setting to a Domino server or Notes client:

      FT_USE_MY_ATTACHMENT_WHITE_LIST=1

      Note that this setting overrules the default behavior and no attachments can be full-text indexed until you complete the next step.
      Use the notes.ini settings in the following table to configure which attachment types to full-text index.
      Table 1. Configuring the attachments types to allow to be full-text searched Goal Settings to use
      Configure which file types to allow on all databases.

      FT_INDEX_FILTER_ATTACHMENT_TYPES=*.<format>,*.<format> where <format> is a file format. Use a comma between formats.

      FT_INDEX_FILTER_ATTACHMENT_TYPES_MAX_MB=<value> where <value> is an optional maximum attachment size in MB to limit the size of files that can be searched. There is no limit if not specified.
      For example:

      FT_INDEX_FILTER_ATTACHMENT_TYPES=*.mp3
      FT_INDEX_FILTER_ATTACHMENT_TYPES_MAX_MB=2

      Configure which file types to allow on a specific database.

      FT_INDEX_FILTER_ATTACHMENT_TYPES_<replicaID>=*.<format> where <replicaID> is the replica ID of a database to search and <format> is the file type. Use a comma between formats.

      FT_INDEX_FILTER_ATTACHMENT_TYPES_<replicaID>_MAX_MB=1 where <replicaID> is the replica ID of the database to search and <value> is an optional maximum attachment size in MB to limit the size of files that can be searched. There is no limit if not specified.
      For example:

      FT_INDEX_FILTER_ATTACHMENT_TYPES_00124866492581EC=*.txt
      FT_INDEX_FILTER_ATTACHMENT_TYPES_00124866492581EC_MAX_MB=1

      Note: If you currently use the notes.ini setting FT_USE_ATTACHMENT_WHITE_LIST=1 on a Domino server or Notes client, note the following behavior:
      The following file types are allowed for full-text indexing by default. Note that this whitelist overrules the blacklisted formats .zip and .jar and allows them to be indexed. The other types in the blacklist are still disallowed.

      *.123,*.ami,*.ap,*.as,*.aw,*.dca,*.doc*,*.dwg,*.emf,*.emz,*.fff,*.fft,*.flg,*
      .fm,*.htm*,*.hwp,*.jar,*.jtd,*.jtt,*.lwp,*.mime,*.oas,*.odp,*.ods,*.odt,*.pdf*,*.pic,
      *.ppt*,*.pst,*.qpw,*.r13,*.r14,*.rtf,*.sam,*.shw,*.swp,*.vsd*,*.wk4,*.wks,*.wmf,*.wp*,
      *.wri,*.xlr,*.xls*,*.xml,*.xy*",*.zip

      You can use the notes.ini settings described in Step 2 along with this setting to allow additional attachment types.
      Switching to FT_USE_MY_ATTACHMENT_WHITE_LIST=1 overrules this setting.
