Scan Extensions This is a list of the filename extensions that will be scanned by the indexer. If a file has an extension that is not in this list then it will be skipped. Note that each file extension must begin with a "." (dot) character or it will be ignored. Up to 50 extensions can be defined in this list. When you add a new extension, Zoom will automatically determine the File type that it should be indexed as. However, you can change this as required. Checking the “Scan files with no extensions” option allows you to index files without any extension. Checking the "Scan files with unknown extensions" option will analyse any unrecognized file extension and attempt to index it accordingly (e.g. can detect a JPEG that has been misnamed as a .bin or any file extension not in the above list and index it as a JPEG). You can double-click on each file extension (or click on the "Configure" button) to edit settings for that particular file extension. This includes icon and thumbnail options for most file formats (see "Icons and Thumbnails"). If your edition of Zoom has plugin support (available in all editions except Free Edition), you could also install plugins and specify file extensions such as “.pdf” and “.doc”. See "Plugins" for more information. You will also be able to configure the plugin settings from here by double-clicking on the related file extension (or clicking on the "Configure" button with the file extension selected).
Checking this option enables the use of CRC signatures to ensure that only pages with unique content are indexed. This is particularly useful for spider indexing websites with links to pages without a filename, for instance, to a directory (eg: http://mywebsite.com/). These links may otherwise be indexed twice if there is another link somewhere else on the website which points to the same place, but with the actual filename specified (such as http://mywebsite.com/index.html, http://mywebsite.com/home.htm, etc.). It is best to avoid this on your website and use a consistent linking method. However, you can also prevent this by turning on this option. Open all plugin file formats in a new window When this option is enabled, all plugin supported file formats (e.g. PDF, DOC, PPT files, etc.) will open in a new window when you click on them in the search results. Note that you will need to have plugins installed and the required file extension added to the Extensions list for such file types to be indexed. See "Plugins" for more information. Override plugin timeout When this option is enabled, a timeout limit is enforced for files being processed by a plugin. This avoids corrupt or problematic files from hanging up the entire index session.
