File name
There are three options relating to searching by file name:
Regular Expression |
If checked the file name should be treated as a regular expression, e.g. \.(txt|doc)$
Otherwise the file name is treated as a DOS Expression, e.g. *.txt;*.doc
|
Match Case |
If checked the file name matching should be case-sensitive.
|
Specifies NOT Expression |
If checked the file name criteria specifies files to EXCLUDE from the search. All other files are included. e.g. *.exe;*.dll search all files except DLLs and EXEs.
|
Contents
The two content options are:
Regular Expression |
If checked the containing text criteria should be evaluated as a regular expression. Mythicsoft.*Search
Otherwise the containing text is treated as a Boolean expression, e.g. Mythicsoft AND Search
See Expression Types for more information.
|
Match Case |
If checked the containing text matching should be case-sensitive.

Enhanced Document Searching
Agent Ransack can search all file formats for relevant text by processing the raw binary data from the file. However, for popular Office based formats such as OpenOffice and Microsoft Office Agent Ransack includes additional functionality for enhanced text extraction.
PDF Format |
If checked PDF files will be specially processed to extract relevant text.
|
Office formats |
If checked Office files, such as .doc, .docx, .xls, xlsx, .ods, .odt, sxw, will be processed using any available IFilters prior to searching.
