MetaDataExtractor

Summary

Sets the metadata extractor handler to use.

Usage

MetaDataExtractor[format]=<name metadata extractor handler>

Description

This setting defines the metadata extractor handler to use, to extract metadata from a range of formats, for example PDF and MS Word.
In Exponential versions prior to 3.8.0, the following default settings for binary file indexing were specified in the "binaryfile.ini" configuration file:

MetaDataExtractor[text/plain]=plaintext
 MetaDataExtractor[application/pdf]=pdf
 MetaDataExtractor[application/msword]=word

Since Exponential 3.8.0, the default settings for binary file indexing have changed, and now look like this:

MetaDataExtractor[text/plain]=ezplaintext
 MetaDataExtractor[application/pdf]=ezpdf
 MetaDataExtractor[application/msword]=ezword

This setting is case sensitive.

Examples

MetaDataExtractor[text/plain]=ezplaintext
MetaDataExtractor[application/pdf]=ezpdf
MetaDataExtractor[application/msword]=ezword

This is the default setting.
