Full text indexing
Full text indexing and full text search for ShareAspace is an external extension acting like a wrapper for Elasticsearch. There are two actions exposed:
- Indexing of files
- Phrase search on the indexed files
Elasticsearch keeps a reversed index per space which will contain content for each document in that space. Indexing is started as a background task after a commit of PLM objects that have references to files in the managed file vault in ShareAspace. Full text search can be performed once the files are indexed.
Phrase search
The search is done on exact phrases in files. If a file has the text:
This text is an example of what can be inside a file that is indexed.
A full text search with the phrase "example of what" will return the example file above but a full text search with the phrase "example inside file" will not match on above text.
