128 Chapter 9: Indexing Collections with Verity Spider
Content options
The following sections describe the Verity Spider content options.
-casesen
Makes processing case-sensitive by specifying that the spider separately process keys that differ
only in case. Use only for indexing UNIX servers.
-exclude
Syntax:
-exclude exp_1 [exp_n] ...
Specifies that files, paths, and URLs matching the specified expression(s) will not be followed. If
you use backslashes, you must double them so that they are properly escaped; for example:
C:\\test\\docs\\path
You can use wildcard expressions, where the asterisk (*) is for text strings and the question mark
(?) is for single characters; for example:
'/my_doc*/year199?'
In Windows, include double-quotation marks around the argument to protect special characters,
such as the asterisk (*). On UNIX, use single-quotation marks. This is only required when you
run the indexing job from a command line. Quotation marks are not necessary within a
command file (the
-cmdfile option).
To use regular expressions, also specify the
-regexp option.
To specify a file, path, or URL that you want followed but not indexed, use the
-indexclude
option. For document types, use the
-mimeexclude option instead; for example, specify
-mimeexclude application/pdf rather than -exclude *.pdf.
Note: When specifying a URL, you must use full, absolute paths using the same format that appears
in the HTML hyperlink. If the link is relative, you must change it to absolute to use it with the
-exclude
option.
See also -regexp.
-include
Specifies that only those files, paths, and URLs that match the specified expression or expressions
will be followed. If you use backslashes, you must double them so that they are properly escaped;
for example:
C:\\test\\docs\\path
You can use wildcard expressions, where the asterisk (*) is for text strings and the question mark
(?) is for single characters; for example:
'/my_doc*/year199?'
