Indexing Collections with Verity Spider
Last updated 2/21/2012
Indexing unknown MIME types
Whenever you find MIME types being dropped, or you plan to index files whose extensions are not known to Verity
Spider by default, use the
-mimemap option to point to a file that contains your own custom mappings for filename
extensions and MIME types.
You can also use the regular expression '*/*' for your MIME type criteria; for example:
-mimeinclude '*/*'
On either platform, you include single-quotation marks for values that include wildcard characters.
Also use inclusion and exclusion criteria to finely control what is indexed, as follows:
1 If your list of file types to index is rather long, use exclusion criteria (-exclude, -indexclude, -mimeexclude, or
-indmimeexclude) to exclude extensions you know you do not want to index; for example:
-exclude '*.exe' '*.com'
2 If the list of file types you want to index is relatively small, use inclusion criteria (-include, -indinclude, -
mimeinclude, or -indmimeinclude) to specify them; for example:
-include '*.txt' '*.1st' '*.log' .Setting MIME Types
