Setting Up Google Search Appliance Connector
ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0 incorporates a special Connector to link with the Google Search Appliance. The Google
Search Appliance automatically indexes text documents and web pages in the corporate intranet. Folders that contain
documents in image formats are additionally crawled by the Google Search Appliance Connector. The image files from
these folders are picked up by the Connector and forwarded to ABBYY Recognition Server for OCR. ABBYY Recognition
Server recognizes the incoming documents and returns the text to the Connector. For each of the recognized
documents, the Connector forms an XML feed containing the text of the document and pushes it to the Google Search
Appliance for indexing. Once the process is complete, the documents become available for fulltext searching.
The Connector is installed on the computer with the Server Manager. The Connector is based on the ABBYY
Recognition Server 3.0 Feed Generator service (Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services >
ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0 Feed Generator) and performs two main functions:
1. Crawls folders specified by the administrator, picks images of specified formats and sends them to ABBYY
Recognition Server for OCR;
2. Generates XML feeds with the recognized text and sends them to the Google Search Appliance for indexing.
To configure Google Search Appliance Connector, do the following:
1. On the Remote Administration Console, select the Google Search Appliance Connector node and
click
(Properties) on the toolbar or select the corresponding command on the shortcut menu.
2. On the Crawling tab of the Google Search Appliance Connector Properties dialog box,
configure the following parameters:
1. Specify the IPaddress of the Google Search Appliance server.
2. Add image folders to be indexed by the Google Search Appliance server. To add a folder,
click Add... and, in the dialog box that opens, enter the path to the folder in UNC format,
for example: \\hostname\folder. The program will include all specified folders (with
subfolders) in the crawl.
Important! A folder with images must be shared, and the user account under which ABBYY
Recognition Server 3.0 Feed Generator service is run must have read permissions to this
folder.
3. In the Image formats list, specify the extensions of image files to be indexed. Use the
Add... and Remove... buttons. Indexing is carried out for files with specified extensions
only. Other files will be ignored.
4. Specify the crawling schedule. Crawling can be performed constantly or according to the
schedule. For more information on creating a schedule, see Creating a Schedule in the
Main Help.
5. Specify the temporary folder for XML feeds used to transfer data to the Google Search
Appliance server. Select Delete feeds after pushing them to GSA if necessary.
3. Files for Google Search Appliance are recognized within a hidden workflow. To set the workflow
parameters, on the OCR tab, do the following:
1. Select the recognition languages.
2. If necessary, select recognition optimization either by speed or quality.
3. Specify the recognition schedule: always active or according to the schedule.
