    Full Text Search

    Is there any restriction on the file type ? I tried to use the full text search feature on a pdf file and it did not work correctly but I saved the same file as .txt and then the search works.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Frank,

    The way I tried is :

    Pdf file was saved as a txt file.

    But the search only returns from txt file and not from pdf file.

    Code is :

    T.dbSearchFilesParams = "inc= contracts/*.pdf,contracts/*.txt| Col=3| Search=true| HideBlock=Comments"

    I am not sure why this happens.

    The search needs to work from PDF file. But just for testing I saved it as txt file as pdf did not return me search results.

    Any help is greatly appreciated

    Thanks
    Mani

    I tried this code and it works. Pdf is shown in the browser -

    Dim ST As New tornado.z()
    With ST
    .dbUnit = 1
    .dbSkin = "bluesky"
    .dbTextHolder = "Title=Search Tornado Manual, Examples and Demo"
    .dbSearchFilesParams = "inc=/tornado/scratch/*.shtm,/tornado/scratch/*.aspx,/tornado/scratch/*.pdf| Col=3| Search=t"
    Dim sf As String = Request.QueryString("ASPdbSearchFile")
    If sf <> "" Then
    Response.Write("<html><Head><link rel='stylesheet' href='/tornado/css/BlueSky/Style.css'></Head><BODY onLoad='self.focus()'><BR>")
    .ASPdbDisplaySource(sf, , , Request.QueryString("ASPdbSearchText"))
    Response.Write("</body></html>")
    Else
    Response.Write(.ASPdbSearchFiles())
    End If
    End With
