Advanced FTS configuration files

The following table lists the advanced files referenced in the FTSLocaleConfig.xml file.The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline.

If the default FTS functionality is not producing the results you expect, you can reference third-party index analyzers, search analyzers, and stemmers.

You might want to process the data differently when indexing versus searching.

• An index analyzer expands all words in the database. For example, if a user is searching for a word like computer, other words like system and machine are included in the search.
• A search analyzer does not expand the words being searched, which improves the performance. If a user is searching for computer, only that word is searched for.

To use third-party configuration files

1. Configure a third-party configuration jar file (for example, customAnalyzer.jar ).
   This jar file can contain one or more analyzers (such as indexAnalyzer, searchAnalyzer, and stemmer). Each analyzer should have a specific name (for example, org.myorg.lucene.analysis.EsparantoAnalyzer).

2. Insert the analyzer names in the FTSLocaleConfig.xml file. For example:

   <indexAnalyzer>org.myorg.lucene.analysis.EsparantoAnalyzer</indexAnalyzer>
   <searchAnalyzer>org.myorg.lucene.analysis.EsparantoAnalyzer</searchAnalyzer>
   <stemmer>Esparanto</stemmer>
3. Make sure that the Java can find the jar file that you created in step 1:
   1. Place the jar file in the fts plug-in directory (by default, C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem\pluginsvr\fts ).

   2. To add the jar to the class path, edit the pathelement option of the pluginsvr_config.xml file in the fts directory. For example:

      <pluginsvr_config>
        <port>9998</port>
         .
         .
         .
        <plugins>
            plugin>
      <name>ARSYS.ARF.FTS</name>
      <pathelement type="location">C:/Program Files/BMC Software/ARSystem/pluginsvr/fts/ftsplugin _VerNum_.jar</pathelement>
             <pathelement type="location">C:/Program Files/BMC Software/ARSystem/pluginsvr/fts/tika\-0.3\-standalone.jar</pathelement>
             <pathelement type="location">C:/Program Files/BMC Software/ARSystem/pluginsvr/fts/ *customAnalyzer.jar*
      </pathelement>
         .
         .
         .
           </plugin>
        </plugins>
      </pluginsvr_config>
