Re: [VuFind-Tech] Full text indexing with Aperture

[mikan.d.dspace l. <mik...@gm...>]

Hi Demian,

This sounds very interesting indeed. Can Aperture index full text files via
URL or should they be locally present? And if full-texts are indexed indeed,
why not offer the ability to store the actual pdf - file in VuFind as well?
Any plans to make this happen? :)

Good Work!
Mika
