[opencms-dev] excluding from search

[Roman Uhlig Maxity.de]

This is because OpenCms doesn't know that .flv is binary unless you tell him so in opencms-vfs.xml ;)

@Achim: Wow, never noticed this property. That's pretty cool and useful, is it new in 7.5.x?

What search index configuration do you mean? In the

Adminstrative View > Search Management > ?

I don't see any exclusion facility there.

Do you mean this section?:
  <documenttypes-indexed>
    <name>xmlpage</name>
    <name>xmlcontent</name>
    <name>text</name>
    <name>pdf</name>
    <name>rtf</name>
    <name>html</name>
    <name>msword</name>
    <name>msexcel</name>
    <name>mspowerpoint</name>
    <name>image</name>
    <name>generic</name>
  </documenttypes-indexed>

It only lists the ones being indexed. But the opencms-log when the index
is built still says "indexing /videos/myfilm.flv"
