117 |
However, the container file name was sometimes useful for
|
|
|
118 |
filtering results, and it is still accessible, in a
|
|
|
119 |
different way: the top container file name is added as a
|
|
|
120 |
term to all the sub-documents, <em>only for searching with
|
|
|
121 |
a prefix</em>. The field name
|
|
|
122 |
is <span class="literal">containerfilename</span>, and no
|
|
|
123 |
match on the subdocuments will occur if the field is not
|
|
|
124 |
specified (this is different from
|
|
|
125 |
previous <span class="literal">filename</span> processing,
|
|
|
126 |
which was indexed as a general
|
|
|
127 |
term. <span class="literal">containerfilename</span> is
|
|
|
128 |
also set on files without sub-documents (e.g. a pdf).</li>

<li>A new attribute, <span class="literal">pfxonly</span>,

was created. This can be set on any metadata field inside

the <span class="literal">[prefixes]</span> section of

133 |
the <span class="filename">fields</span> file.</li>

<li>A new <span class="literal">[queryaliases]</span>
|
|
|
136 |
section was created in

137 |
the <span class="filename">fields</span>, for definining
|
|
|
138 |
field name aliases to be used only at query time (to avoid
|
|
|
139 |
unwanted collection of data on random fields during
|
|
|
140 |
indexing). The section is empty by default, but 2 obvious
|
|
|
141 |
alias are in
|
|
|
142 |
comment: <span class="literal">filename=fn</span>
|
|

143 |
and <span class="literal">containerfilename=cfn</span>. Setting
