[Dspace-general] How enable full-text searching.(Newbie)

People tend to run this periodically, for example once a night. This can be
enabled via a cron job or scheduled task (unix or windows). See:

Those settings are used to enable or disable different filters. For example,
you might decide that you want to enable full text searching of PDF files,
but not MS Word documents, in which case you can edit the settings. Or, you
might decide to write a filter to extract text from a different file format,
and you can add that there.

Thanks,


Stuart

is probably better suited there
