Hi,

I would like to store some document like doc, pdf in a blob field, do I need
any other field to aid the FTS on this field like an extra field to indicate
the type of the document ?

Or do I just include this BLOB field in the full index table ?

No the column can be called anything. I put the periods in, the behavior may
have changed with service packs.

Thanks.
I am asking if it includes the '.' because how about 'html'?
If it includes the period, then the column width should be 5?

Hi Hilary,

So it seems the DocumentTypeColumn is a keyword and the name of the field
must use this name ?
And do I need to include the '.' such as '.pdf', '.doc' in this column or
just 'pdf', 'doc' ?
