Full Text Retrieval (FTR) allows you to index and search for files, attributes or document content (including text) in files. The actual locations of the text occurrences within the files are also identified. The files can be text files, word processing files (such as Microsoft® Word and WordPerfect), and CAD files (such as MicroStation, SmartSketch®, and AutoCAD). However, only the text portions of the CAD files are indexed and available for searching.
All the FTR configuration settings are modeled in the SmartPlant schema. A new class definition called SPFFTROptions has been added to the core schema whose which contains all the FTR configuration information. This class definition realizes three interfaces; ISPFFTRConfig, ISPFFTRServerConfig, and ISPFFTRStopProperty. All FTR configuration keys are exposed as property definitions by these interfaces.
