Defining rules on content type

[viraf]

Hi,

I am new to alfresco.  I was wondering if it is possible to specify rules based on content type.  For example, I do not want HTML files contents to be indexed in certain directories.  Likewise, I do not want zip files to be indexed.

Looking through the document it appears that indexing is an aspect.  However I did not see where the content type (mime type) was defined.

Thanks.

Anyone care to answer this ?

Hi

Indexing is controlled at the property level at the moment and not per instance. Indexing of content could be made senstive to location/properties etc but that is not there now. Indexing behaviour is not an aspect.

If you are trying to limit who can find particular html documents after they are indexed I would just use permissions. Search results reflect permissions.

To limit the indexing of zip files, presumably by mime type, then you need a converter from zip to text content that produces no text. I will have to check what would happen for the default conversion.
