New in dtSearch Desktop with Spider 7.70.8063 (Dec 4, 2012)

  • dtSearch Desktop:
  • New support for displaying images embedded in Office documents (DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, XLS, XLSX, RTF, EML). To enable display of images in dtSearch Desktop, click Options > Preferences > Document display, and check the box to "Display images in documents".
  • Added new options in dtSearch Desktop to (1) hide MIME headers in emails, (2) show properties of images embedded in documents, and (3) control whether paths are indexed along with filenames when the "Index filenames as text" options is enabled. These options are in the Options > Preferences > Indexing Options dialog box.
  • dtSearch Engine:
  • Embedded attachments, objects and images in documents can be extracted using dtsExtractionOptions (C++) or ExtractionOptions (Java and .NET), which specify output locations and rules for filename generation. Currently the following are supported:
  • Attachments in EML, MSG, DBX, TNEF (winmail.dat), PDF, MDB and ACCDB (Access);
  • objects in DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, RTF;
  • images in DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, XLS, XLSX, RTF, EML, MDB and ACCDB (Access).
  • New single-document option for indexing Access (*.mdb, *.accdb), XBase (*.dbf), and Comma-separated values (*.csv) files.
  • By default, dtSearch indexes each record of database files (*.mdb, *.accdb, *.csv, *.dbf) as a separate document. This new option provides a way to index all records in a database file as a single document. For more information, see dtSearchApiRef.chm (Overviews > Databases and Fields > Database files (*.mdb, *.dbf, *.csv))
  • Added dtsoFfShowImageProperties flag in Options.FieldFlags to display image properties (such as EXIF data) for images embedded in documents. Image properties are always indexed for images in seperate files. This flag only affects images embedded in documents, such as a .jpg embedded in a Word file. A related change, made for consistency, affects the hanlding of image files embedded in .eml email files. Previously these properties were always extracted. Now they will only be extracted with the dtsoFfShowImageProperties flag is set, so .eml files will be handled consistently with other file formats.
  • Fixes and minor enhancements:
  • Eliminated use of FILE_FLAG_RANDOM_ACCESS, which could cause excessive memory consumption under Windows Server 2008 because of what appears to be a bug in Windows caching behavior (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2549369 for more information).
  • Zlib version updated to 1.2.7
  • dtSearch.Spider2.dll and dtSearch.Spider4.dll have new dependencies on zlib DLLs zlib_wapidll_{VC8/VC10}_{32/64}.dll to handle gzipped sitemap.xml files.
  • Added file parsers for Ichitaro word processor versions 5 and later.
  • File parser bug fixes affecting MSG, PDF, DOCX, PPTX, Excel 2, RTF
  • Message attachments to MIME emails are now indexed as attachments (so they can be handled consistently with other attachments in the new attachment-related features described above) rather than being merged with the text of the message.
  • Added reporting of PDF files that do not contain any page text. In dtSearch Desktop, these will appear in the index log with "Image Only" after the type name (click View Log in the Update Index dialog box to see the log of indexed files). In the API, the flag fiImageOnly will be set in IndexFileInfo (.NET, Java) or dtsIndexProgressInfo.fileInfoFlags (C++) during indexing.
  • Removed extra path information from headers in containers converted to text using FileConverter.exe or FileConvertJob with the dtsConvertInlineContainer flag
  • Removed "Document Properties" caption from Word, PowerPoint, and Excel 2003 file properties. For applications that require this flag for backward compatibility, use the new flag dtsoFfIncludeDocumentPropertiesCaption in Options.FieldFlags
  • Added new values to SearchReportJob.Header and SearchReportTemplate.rtf: %%Ordinal%%, %%DocId%%, %%Type%%
  • Added new dtsConvertIncludeBOM flag to FileConverter.Flags to add UTF-8 BOM to UTF-8 output

The original file is not modified but the ArchiveFileList.html file is searchable as if it were part of the ZIP or RAR file. The file consists of a list of the names of the files inside the archive.

New in dtSearch Desktop with Spider 7.67.7973 (Jun 12, 2012)

  • Added support for highlighting hits in PDF files in Adobe Reader X and Adobe Acrobat X.

  • Added new .NET sample application, AzureDemo, demonstrating use of the dtSearch Engine in an Azure instance. For documentation explaining how to deploy in Azure, see:

  • Fixed error in HTML conversion causing some output to fail to word-wrap when displayed in a browser.

  • Enhancements (dtSearch Engine):
  • Added dtsSearchLanguageAnalyzerSynonyms flag to enable using a language analyzer to generate morphological variations on a search term at search time. When this flag is set, the language analyzer is called for each word or phrase in the search request. The flag dtsLaInputIsSearchTerm is passed to the language analyzer in dtsLaJob.flags, so the language analyzer knows why it is being called.

Because dtSearchNetApi2.dll is built with the updated version of Visual Studio .NET 2005, it requires the updated MFC and CRT DLLs that are included with that version. This Microsoft redistributable program will install the required components:
