TREX - Search in Word Documents

Hi all,
We have a problem with our TREX:
We have a lot of word documents in our TREX Queue - When we search for words which are icluded in the name or the description of the Wordfile, every file will be found; but when we search for words which are included in the wordfiles (in the text of the file) , some documents will be found and some not!?
I thought the TREX does a full text search? Does anyone have an idea?
Regards,
Andy

Andreas,
We have the same problem as you described.
"When we search for words which are icluded in the name or the description of the Wordfile, every file will be found; but when we search for words which are included in the wordfiles (in the text of the file) , some documents will be found and some not!"
Did you find a solution?

How do I search a word document stored in a BLOB using PHP?

I have been successful at saving files in a blob field using oracle.
I need to search through the word document, how can I do it using PHP?
Please help!

You're going to want to look at the Text Application Developer's guide.

Give this a read and it'll give you what you need in order to search CLOB and BLOB fields for text data.
It all works around a particular type of index which is then referenced using a CONTAINS clause in your SQL... eg:
SELECT id FROM documents WHERE CONTAINS( document_body, 'Oracle' ) > 0
Once you've got your head around the basic priniciples you're going to want to look at the document filters. This should allow you to index MS Word documents (warning: I've never used this for Word).
It's not something that you can just pick up from reading a 20 line reply on a forum, but it sounds like what you're looking for.
We use it here in order to look up on HTML documents, and it works a treat. We converted our Word documents to HTML so we could mark them up and then display them inline on pages.
We wrap up the SQL that actually does the CONTAINS clause in a PL-SQL function, but I don't image there's a problem issuing a CONTAINS over OCI. Let me know if it works!
Might this be an option for you?

Spotlight doesn't search in word documents

Hello,
I have a Question regarding Spotlight: If I look for any phrase which is in word documents, Spotlight doesn't find it. (I got some documents from a friend, each about 100 pages). When I use OpenOffice and export the documents to pdf: no problem, Spotlight works perfectly.
Is there a way to force Spotlight to index this folder? I thought, Spotlight would index word documents automatically...

I found out the reason:
The *.doc documents were rtf-documents with a doc at the end. Spotlight doesn't index rtf as it seems.
Saving them as word solved the problem.

Create PDF in Word, cannot search word document thereafter.

Hi....
v9.3.1 of Adobe Acrobat.
System: Win2k8 SP2
CPU: x86
When I convert a Word document to a .pdf file with the Adobe Acrobat Office add-in function "Create PDF" I can not search the Word document thereafter. In order to be able to search I will have to close and open the document again.
- Updating is not an option.
- This is verified to be an issue for several users
Does anyone have experience with this.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Regards
/Lars B.

FYI - the transparent PNG is 300 dpi and sized at 45% in the Word doc.

The word app has disappeared from my desktop computer and can't be found on finder or search. All documents I created on word will now not open unless in "TextEdit" format which I don't use. Any ideas please? Thanks

Unable to search for words in a pdf document

I am using Adobe Reader Ver 10.1.1 (All updates)
I have a pdf document in which I am unable to search for words. No words in the document are found even though they do exist. If I copy a word from within the document and paste it into the search criteria then instead of getting the word that I copied, I get substitute characters and it can in fact find these characters as the word being searched.
The document is a catalog and can be downloaded from the following URL.
http://www.carbatec.com.au/getcatalogue?zenid=d1cuvbat0ois0g37r0r33vnah1
I will appreciate any help as to why I cannot search for words in the document.

Thank you Dave Merchant and try67 for your responses. As per my previous post, I contacted the company re the catalogue and they have responded favourably. I'll include their response because it gives the reason for the search failure as document compression which you might find interesting. I'll await their new catalogue and see if they have fixed the problem.
Company response:
Thank you very much for your input. And yes, you are correct, the compression we used for the current catalogue's PDF format does strip out text included in the catalogue. We used the compression settings we did with the intention of minimising download time, however I take your point about including text for search purposes (which I also utilise when I'm scanning through PDFs).
We will actually be posting out our new catalogue next week and we'll release the new PDF version on the website at the same time. I've asked our graphic designer to ensure that the PDF we use for the new catalogue includes searchable text.

Search text in PDF and MS Word document

Thank You

Can any body tell me how search text in PDF
and MS Word document through Java code, any

First, you need to work out how to read each document type from Java.
E.g, for MS Word you could use Apache Jakarta POI - HWPF: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hwpf/index.html
Then, you use Apache Lucene to index and search.
See http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/index.html

Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table

Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table. I have Windows 8.1 64-bit and Office 2010 Professional. Only phrases from within Excel tables are not searchable. I have many Word documents with embedded Excel table.
I use it for my invoices. Those invoices are converted to pdf to be sent via mail. Searching the same phrases in related pdf files Works fine. And yes, folders are indexed, searching service is active......... For example I can find all invoices that have
specific address or name, which is located in word document, but cannot find invoices with specific item name or price, being that information is in embedded Excel table. (not linked, embedded). I thought that is a question for Windows forum, but guys directed
me here on Office forum. To clarify, I do not use Ctrl+F inside some document, but Windows Search in my folders. Probably the same happens in Office 2013.
Thank you.

Hi, I have a lot of Word documents (invoices, offers). Main part of those documents is embedded Excel file because it is easier to do mathematics in Excel than in Word. There are columns with description, unit price, quantity, taxes... Now, I need
to find who bought HP switch 2530-24G last year. I open folder with last year invoices and search "2530". Cannot find any. But if that document was converted to pdf for mail, than I can find that phrase. Windows search does not work for content if the content
is in embedded file.

Any way to search in a Word document? How to? Any freebies?

OK, I've e-mailed myself a Word document. I can see it beautifully formatted as an attachment on the IPT. But I cannot search through it for a particular term.
I've transferred the document over using Stanza. No formatting--and while S has search, it highlights each example and there's no way of moving from one found item to the next. Not useful.
So, is there any program (built-in or free add-on) that permits searching (in the usual fashion) through a Word document?
I'll take my answer off the air. (Ha! Ha!) Thanks!

What do you use to view Word, PDF docs on your iPhone, IPT? I like the formatted appearance as an e-mail attachment, but maybe there are other ways to seeing that.
A search feature is really needed. If I want to find a certain date or assignment in my course syllabus I have to wade through it manually, page by page-- or rather screen by screen which is even less. It'd be wonderful to be able to search for a particular word.
I wonder if there's any app that does that...

Trouble with CHM Search & Index after Importing Word Document

Greetings,
I have recently inherited all things RoboHelp at work, but the last person to work with our projects left 6 months ago. I received a brief overview of how our CHM files were generated from the same word document in RH HTML 7.
Currently, I am using RoboHelp HTML 9, but am having trouble with the Index and Search functionality from an imported Word 2003 (.doc) file. During my import, only a single topic is created and named after the source document. I believe this may be the root of my problems, but haven't had much luck with a solution.
I have stumbled my way through setting after setting, but feel I am missing something obvious. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken
Background:
Our source documents have a working TOC and Heading 1-3 structure. When creating a new project and importing the document, the TOC is imported correctly. The TOC navigations links seem to function correctly.
I have used the Smart Index Wizard to find new keywords from topic titles and topic text. Unfortunately it seems the import only creates a single topic named after the source word document and therefore associates all keywords with the single topic. when trying to navigate the index after the CHM is generated, all links simply reference the beginning of the document.
When using the search feature in the CHM, only a single result is returned for any search words. This result is always the single topic as described above. The results link always returns you to the start of the document but does highlight the keyword throughout the document.

When you import there is an Advanced button in one of the dialogs. Click that and you will be able to Paginate against chosen styles. That will break your document into topics.

TREX search failure for some pdf documents

Hi,
TREX search is not getting correct result for some pdf documents. It's not able read the content of some pdf documents. When we search with file name the search result is correct but we are getting "No document excerpt available" message in search result for this file name.
Let me know where might be the problem for those pdf docs.
Thanks

Hi Tatayya Marni,
1. Can you tell me whether the pdf documents are opening when you are selecting them?
2. This error comes mostly when you havent included this .extn file (.pdf in your case) to the portal.
3. Check whether this extn is their in your portal if not make it inclueded and then try making a new index and one new data source where your pdf is residing. Try for one Test.
You have to include the file extns in System Confi....UI Interface...
Hope this will resolve your issue.
Regards
Piyush Bhurangi
