Index fields

A summary table of all the index fields in PageSeeder and items for which they are available.

A more detailed definition of each field can be found in Index field definitions.

For more explanations on the abbreviations used in this document see Legend & explanations.

Setting the group property indexXFields to true and then re-indexing the group adds all document metadata fields extracted by Tika to the index with the prefix x-(also known as X-Fields).

Legend

For brevity, the documents use icons to denote the different kind of indexable items.

Media types

Icon	input media type	Description
		Folders
	`application/word`	Word document
	`application/pdf`	PDF document
	`text/html`	HTML document
	`application/xml text/xml /+xml`	XML document
	`application/vnd.pageseeder.psml+xml`	PSML document
	`application/vnd.pageseeder.url+xml`	URL (external URI)
	`/` (any other)	Any other type of document
	`image/*`	Image (gif, bmp, png or jpeg)
		Task
		Comment

The input media type is the MIME type received by the index engine. It is slightly different from the psmediatype index field.

Field types

Lucene field types legend
S	Stored	The field value is stored in the index in full and is available in search results
Z	Compressed	The value is stored in the index in a compressed format
I	Indexed	The value is indexed as it is and is case sensitive
C	Case insensitive	The value is indexed as lower case and searches are case insensitive
T	Tokenized	The value is split into tokens which is not case sensitive
N	Number	The value is stored as a integer value
L	Long	The value is stored as a long value
?	Optional	When applicable for the mediatype, the field might not always appear in the index
*	Zero-or-more	When applicable for the mediatype, the field might appear in the index multiple times
+	One-or-more	When applicable for the mediatype, the field appears in the index at least once

If a field is not tokenized, it must be searched using its exact value including correct case (for example, “smith” or “john smith” wont match “John Smith”).
