====== Content Search and PDF Burn Service ======
== last updated on Feb 13, 2024 ==
===== Introduction =====
Nasuni Access Anywhere can index the content of federated storage endpoints to provide searching of their contents. [[https://solr.apache.org/|Apache Solr]] is integrated into the Access Anywhere stack and used to index the content from the various on-cloud and on-premises storage solutions.
Solr (and underlying Lucene) index is a specially designed data structure, stored on the file system as a set of index files. The index is designed with efficient data structures to maximize performance and minimize resource usage.
Contents of the following file types can be indexed for searching:
|7z|docx|jar|odt|pub|vsd|
|afm|dotm|jpg|oga|qpw|war|
|aif|dwg|js|ogg|rdf|wav|
|apk|ear|key|opus|rss|wb3|
|ar|emf|kml|p7s|rtf|webarchive|
|asf|eml|kmz|pages|sda|wma|
|au|emlx|m4a|pbm|sdc|wmf|
|bmp|epub|mbox|pct|sdd|wmv|

*Note that Solr can throw very occasional indexing errors when indexing content it supports. This can be due to reasons such as incompatible versions or corrupted files. When this occurs the Access Anywhere Server still indexes the base metadata of the file or object (filename, type etc) so it can still be found during search where search terms match what is available.
For **evaluation** the standard appliance is configured for deep content search. The service is disabled out of the box. This guide walks you through the steps to enable deep content search
The Access Anywhere Server also provides a PDF Annotation feature that allows PDFs to be annotated and burnt. For that service to work, it needs to be enabled and this guide will also step through how the burn service can be enabled.
===== Enabling PDF Annotations for a user package =====
Login as appladmin and enable the **PDF Annotations tool** in the extra options section for the package and press save.

===== Activating Content Search for Providers =====
After Content Search has enabled in the package, each Storage Provider Settings page will present the option to enable content search for the provider.

Use this option to control whether Content Search will be available for each provider.
===== Enabling Content Search After You Have Started Using Access Anywhere =====
If you wish to enable Content Search and you have already started using one or more storage providers with your Access Anywhere server, how you should proceed depends on whether Content Search has been integrated with your appliance and Content Search been enabled in your organization's package for the entire time that Access Anywhere has been in use:
* If Content Search was both integrated and enabled then you need only tick the "Index content for search" box on the Provider Settings page for each provider for which you want Content Search enabled. Don't forget to save the change to the settings.
