All, I've just installed TextIndexNG2. I created a TextIndexNG2 index called PrincipiaSearchSource in my Catalog. In the converters tab for this index, I see this: Mime-Types Description depends on application/pdf Adobe Acrobat PDF pdftotext application/vnd.sun.xml.writer OpenOffice text/html Converter HTML to ASCII text/plain Null converter text/sgml, text/xml Converter SGML to ASCII Why do none of the typical Microsoft converters show up in the above table? This is on a Linux box and I'm not sure if things like wvWare are installed (eg. for converting and indexing msword files). I can index a pdf file object no problem, but word docs are ignored - they catalogged but their text/content doesn't get indexed. The converters shows this on my Win2K machine for the same converters tab: application/msexcel, application/ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-excel Microsoft Excel xls2csv application/mspowerpoint, application/ms-powerpoint, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint Microsoft PowerPoint pptHtml application/msword, application/ms-word, application/vnd.ms-word Microsoft Word wvWare application/pdf Adobe Acrobat PDF pdftotext application/postscript Adobe Postscript Document ps2ascii application/vnd.sun.xml.writer OpenOffice text/html Converter HTML to ASCII text/plain Null converter text/sgml, text/xml Converter SGML to ASCII It shows all of the microsoft converters. I don't have the dependencies installed on this machine so I know the actual index won't work. I'm just curious as to why the two converter listings I've provided are different. Thanks, Tom Palermo
