On closer inspection, the Word docs aren't actually being indexed appropriately either. When I browse the vocabulary for these indexed Word docs, I happen to see textual content that can be seen by also cat'ing the document to the stdout. The vocab includes other strings that certainly are not content. I guess they're string representations of binary content.
These are other things that I noticed, maybe they won't amount to anything:
- When I watch the processes during indexing w/top I don't see wvWare or pdftotext appear. Maybe they won't.
- I also inserted a couple of LOG.warn's in src/textindexng/content.py around line 130 ( if d.has_key('mimetype'): ), and this test always fails, thereby skipping conversion.
- Digging further in this file, "mimetype" is only defined when extract_content() in content.py calls "icc.addBinary(...)". This only happens when the indexed object provides a txng_get() hook (or I suppose if an adapter exists). That whole block (around lines 81 - 93) never gets hit with my PDFs or Word docs during indexing. When I index a large number of PDFs I will get a number of TypeErrors raised around line 110 when extract_content() notices that the data isn't a [unicode] string.
Is the standard Zope File object supposed to expose a txng_get hook?

Hi Andreas,
Neither PrincipiaSearchSource nor SearchableText does anything for these File-type objects. I guess nothing for SearchableText is expected since these are not CMF or Plone-derived objects. The only way I've managed to get *anything* indexed for these File-type objects is by specifying the "data" attribute.
A couple of related postings that I've found through a bit of Googling have also noted having to use "data" when indexing these kinds of files, for example: http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2003-August/139702.html
So, I should be able to use PrincipiaSearchSource? I've only used that for text-oriented objects like Page Templates. I'll keep digging around, but I welcome any suggestions for what the problem could be or how I can debug this further.
Maybe you should bring this to TXNG bugtracker (as suggested!). -aj
