Does Search index documents?

Hi,

I would like to find out does Sitefinity 4.x search and index documents?  If not, is there a workaround for this?


Regards,
Adrian

Hello Adrian,

Documents are not included in the index. There will be a solution to do this after Q2 with the new index pipe API.

Hi,

"There will be a solution to do this after Q2 with the new index pipe API."

Any news on this? Roadmap?

By the way, I had 2 quick questions on indexing:

- Do inserted, updated or deleted items automatically trigger an index update? So that I do not have to manually reindex everything regularly.
- Do the Sitefinity APIs (like the fluent one) automatically use indexes when they're available, or do indexes have to be called explicitly?

Thanks.

Hello Thomas,

   There is a sample pipe that index  txt documents and it is in the  sample project in this post and you can use it as a base pipe  for pipes that will index specific documents or extend it. Right now it is not on our Roadmap for the next release.  

    And the answers for the questions : 

The fluent API  calls the publishing system automatically. Nevertheless we have a problem now when you try to publish or delete an item with specific facades. If you are using 

App.WorkWith().AnyContentItem<T> it will work fine and will call the publishing system (this includes the search also since it is built upon the publishing system) for any action like Delete,Create,Unpublish or Publish. 

I just downloaded the evaluation version of sitefinity 5.0.2523.0. Is it possible to index documents (search) like txt, pdf, doc, docx, xls, xlsx etc in this version.
