Mindshare Interactive Campaigns	Wednesday 05 July 2006 12:25:25 pm Hey everyone - terribly sorry, but we've found a bug in our script (well, sort of). If you use system instead of passthru, you only get back the last line of whatever file you're indexing. passthru gives you all the output, but will also result in a segmentation fault if you try to index a copy-protected PDF file with xpdf. exec has the same problem. We're working on a solution but haven't found one yet. http://www.mindshare.net
Mindshare Interactive Campaigns	Thursday 31 August 2006 8:26:12 am OK, we finally have a fully functional solution that is now working on both a 3.6 site and a 3.8 site, both of which have tons of binary files. You can read the full article here: http://ez.no/community/articles/indexing_multiple_binary_file_types http://www.mindshare.net
Andy Caiger	Tuesday 18 May 2010 1:23:08 am Is there any more up to date information on how to debug binary file searching/indexing, especially indexing of PDF files? I'm using eZ Publish 4.2 and PDF files are not being indexing, but I can't get any error information. How can I do some debugging and find out what's going on?
