About this task

To exclude all document attachments from being indexed, set the followingnotes.ini variable for the indexing server:

FT_Index_Attachments=2

To exclude specific types of document attachments in addition to the default types listed at the beginning of this topic, set the following NOTES.INI variable for the indexing server. List file type extensions with a wildcard (*), separated by commas, using no space characters. For example:

FT_INDEX_IGNORE_ATTACHMENT_TYPES=*.asf,*.avi,*.bin,*.bmp,*.dat,*.iso,*.mpeg,*.ogg,*.qz,*.rm,*.so,*.swf,*.wmv

This example results in the following full set of excluded attachments: *.ap,*.asf,*.au,*.avi,*.bin,*.bkf,*.bmp,*.bqy,*.cab,*.cca,*.dat,*.dbd,*.dll,*.exe,*.gif,*.gz,*.img,*.iso,*.jar,*.jpg,*.lwp,*.m4p,*.m4v,*.MIF,*.mov,*.mp3,*.mp3,*.mpeg,*.mpg,*.msi,*.nsf,*.ntf,*.ogg,*.p7m,*.p7s,*.pag,*.pdb,*.pic,*.png,*.pst,*.qz,*.rar,*.rm,*.shw,*.so,*.swf,*.sys,*.tar,*.tif,*.wav,*.wmf,*.wmv,*.wpl,*.wq1,*.z,*.zip

Note: FT_INDEX_IGNORE_ATTACHMENT_TYPES has a 256-character limit. If the value of the file types to exclude exceeds this limit, you can use the additional settings FT_INDEX_IGNORE_ATTACHMENT_TYPES2 and FT_INDEX_IGNORE_ATTACHMENT_TYPES3.
