The basic settings for the full-text search are made below.  

Index subject, text and attachments (Word/PDF) of emails

This determines whether emails and their attachments should be included in the full-text search. The emails must be saved in Vertec. This is automatically the case if you work with the Outlook App. Only emails saved internally in Vertec (i.e. not linked on the file system) are searched.

PropertyName: IndexEmails. Booleanpropery. Default: Yes.

Activate full-text search (recommended)

For the full-text search to be available, this checkmark must be checked. The magnifying glass in the navigation menu only appears when this option is activated.

For migrations or large data imports, this option should be deactivated and the data should be indexed all at once when complete.

PropertyName: IsIndexingActivated. Booleanproperty. Default: Yes.

Index Word/PDF documents (only for internal document storage)

In order for Word and PDF documents to be searched, Document storage must be set to Internal under System settings > General. And the documents must be saved in Vertec itself. Only internally stored documents are searched (i.e. not on the file system or in an external DMS).

PropertyName: IndexDocuments. Booleanproperty. Default: Yes.

Additional search languages (separated by comma)

The defined default language (visible in the menu Settings > Change language > Default language) is indexed automatically.

You can enter additional languages to be indexed here. Enter the relevant language abbreviations DE, EN, FR, IT and NL, separed by commas.

You can then select between the indexed languages during the search.

This setting is relevant for the word stem search. For example, in German a “Fahrrad” will also find “Fahrräder”; in English “bikes” will also find “bike”, etc.

PropertyName: AdditionalSearchLanguages. Stringproperty. Default: Blank.

If changes are made to the system settings, the indexing must be restarted before the corresponding results appear. This can be done with one of the Python functions or with the scheduled task.
