I've been successful in configuring JiFile with my Joomla 1.7 and indexing 1 out of 2 PDF files that I place in the Ifile folder. I have been successful in searching for this PDF using keywords that are in the title and the first couple lines of the document (Introductory Text), but I am unable to search the whole content. How can I search the entire PDF document? Please excuse me for not reading the documentation as I am not fluent in Italian. Thank you and Gratzie!

JiFile already indexes the full text automatically.
The content of the document is only "indexed" and not historicized as is done for the field "introtext" (which displays only the first 200 characters of the full text), you can search over all content, but not you can view it.

I cleared the cache, removed the indexes, and tried again. My searches for content-wide worked the second time around. Thanks for your help!

How difficult would it be to implement a feature where the content keyword and context is displayed in the results? In other words, if my PDF was indexed in the system and I wanted to search the middle of this document, then the results will have the word(s) highlighted in the results similar to what happens when you search for words that are included in the first 200 words (intro text).

This is essentially what you described in your above post, but I am wondering how much effort it would be to implement this feature and if its going to be included in the next version of JiFile. Again, Thanks for your great work. This is the only PDF indexer in Joomla that works!

It can be done easily, but there are disadvantages:
  • requires much more disk space
  • requires much more time indexing
  • Research slower

We are doing some tests, just finished, I tell you what changes compared with the current indexation.

Hello,
I did a test with 10 files for a total of 10 Mb:
  • the original indexation (body not historicized)
    the index is 948 KB
  • modified indexation (body historicized)
    the index is 3.13 Mb
    and the search is slower than some seconds

Interested in anyway historicize the content?

Hello,

I think it's better to see the words. Even if it's a bit slower, if you have multiple documents with the same terms you've got the words into their context.
So the user experience will be better because he'll get the proper document faster ! (and not downloading all of them to catch the good one)
Also, maybe with a faster server it will be okay...
I'm also thinking about a way to optimize using a kind of multisite feature / symbolic links, to deport the search on an other server.
The documents could be in folder from the main site, but will be a symbolic link to an other server where the files should be stored.
The indexing would be on the same database of course. (didn't check if you are storing into database, but I guess yes)
The administrator/com_jifile and libraries/ifile will be also symbolic links.
While searching from the mainsite, the other server will search faster, because of access disk, apache busy doing (almost)one thing : running the framework.

I wrote that the search became slower than some seconds for 10 documents, I dont know how much time could increase with more documents.

JiFile use iFile with the Lucene search engine that doesn't work on databases but builds its index on the filesystem to use a particular search algorithm.

So you may try to put the folder index "ifile_index" on faster server.
Unfortunately we do not have the means to do these tests.
