[Xtf-user] Some Condescension Requested

[Seth C. <set...@ya...>]

My Questions:

I can index, and I can create and search a new index.  I cannot however go from hit results to the document, the dynatext doesn't appear to find the docs.  If I paste one of the sample docs to a new index folder, I can search, but the retrieval is of the original, not the one in the other folder (I renamed the orig folder and it does not retrieve).  I have changed the search to another directory in docSelector.xsl, So I dont understand.  I am trying simply to index a few html docs for testing.  where do i change the retrieve parameters.  there is no doc id being assigned to the html docs, as can be seen in a mouseover of the hit list.  sorry for such a simple Q, but I looked everywhere (obviously not somehow).

Also.  If you have time:

How do I make he hit list show all the results of each doc, not just the first few?

Can I embed the kwic hits list into the doc TOC in the frames page once I retieve a doc with hits?  Thus I could still be interogating the context if there were many hits.  It would be much faster for research.

lastly, Is it feasable to use this with one massive 300 MB to 2 GB) file, or is that basically a bad idea?

Hopefully some answers here will help me understand the other mods i want to integrate.

Thank You Kindly!

Seth

My Blurb:

For any other technologically impaired user seeking to install XTF on Windows, as I spent an afternoon, here is how I did it.  You can get the general picture:
 
 cygwin etc is not necessary:
 
 1) get perl at activestate.com.
 
 2) rename the textindexer file in the Bin folder to textindexer.pl.
 
 3) paste the following into a text editor and save as indexer.bat in the same folder:
 
 textIndexer.pl -index Default
 
 4) paste following into a new file named XTFJava.bat, You may need to edit for your setup path (this is the safe way for registering a classpath, it is not global - google set java classpath).  all text is on one line without any returns:
 
 java -classpath C:\resin-3.0.18\webapps\xtf\WEB-INF\lib\cql-java.jar;C:\resin-3.0.18\webapps\xtf\WEB-INF\lib\log4j-1.2.9.jar;C:\resin-3.0.18\webapps\xtf\WEB-INF\lib\PDFBox-0.6.7a.jar;C:\resin-3.0.18\webapps\xtf\WEB-INF\lib\saxonb-8.3.jar;C:\resin-3.0.18\webapps\xtf\WEB-INF\lib\Tidy.jar;C:\resin-3.0.18\webapps\xtf\WEB-INF\lib\xtf.jar
 
 5) open control panel - system - advanced - environmental variables, and add the XTF_HOME variable (and java if necessary).  
 
 6) copy the sample data files as directed by XTF user guide.
 
 run the XTFjava.bat
 
 run the indexer.bat.
 
 your set.
