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.
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.
