Indexing Collections with Verity Spider

Last updated 2/21/2012

text/*

The following value is NOT a valid substitute for text/html:

text/h*

Multiple parameter values

If you use quotataion marks while specifying a series of parameter values for a single instance of a MIME type critera,

enclose each separate parameter value in single-quotation marks. For example:

-mimeinclude 'text/plain' 'application/*'

If you enclose the entire sequence of parameter values, as follows:

-mimeinclude 'text/plain application/*'

Verity Spider considers the entire expression a single value.

You can also use multiple instances of the MIME type criteria, each with a single parameter value, where quotation

marks are necessary only if you use the wildcard character (*). For example:

-mimeinclude text/plain

-mimeinclude 'application/*'.Setting MIME Types

MIME types and web crawling

When you index a website, Verity Spider evaluates your MIME type criteria against the "Content-Type" HTTP headers

sent by the web server hosting that website. That web server passes along MIME type information based on its own

internal tables.

When you encounter MIME types being dropped, make sure that the web server you are indexing has the necessary

MIME type information. For information about specifying MIME types, see the documentation for your web server.

You can examine the indexing job’s log files for indications that files are being skipped due to MIME types. For

example, a typical ASCII file you might want indexed is a log file (filename.log). Unless the web server understands

that files with .LOG extensions are ASCII text, of MIME type text/plain, you see in the indexing job log file that .LOG

files are skipped because of MIME type, even if you use the following:

-mimeinclude 'text/*'

MIME types and file system indexing

When you index a file system, Verity Spider reads filenames and evaluates your MIME type criteria against an internal,

compiled list of known MIME types and associated filename extensions. You cannot edit this list. However, you can

use the

-mimemap option to create a custom MIME type mapping.

When you encounter MIME types being dropped, check whether Verity Spider recognizes that particular MIME type.

For more information, see the table,

“Known MIME types for file system indexing” on page 149.

You can examine the indexing job’s log files for indications that files are being skipped due to MIME types. For

example, a typical ASCII file you might want indexed is a log file (filename.log). Since Verity Spider does not

understand that files with .LOG extensions are ASCII text, of MIME type text/plain, you see in the indexing job log file

that .LOG files are skipped because of MIME type, even if you use the following:

-mimeinclude 'text/*'.Setting MIME Types
