Full Text Search

Full Text Search lets you search the contents of files stored in Vasion Storage, not just file names or metadata. When you upload a file, Vasion can process it using optical character recognition (OCR) to extract readable text. This feature makes the file's content fully searchable, so you can locate specific keywords or phrases across large sets of files quickly and accurately. Full Text Search is not immediately available after uploading a file. Depending on the number of files uploaded, it might take a few minutes for the OCR process to finish.

Files that you uploaded before OCR was turned on still appear in content-based search results. Depending on the number of files, it might take a few days for all files to be OCR processed.

How Full Text Search Works

When you search for a keyword or phrase that is at least three characters long, Vasion searches the current tab or folder, including any subfolders and files you have access to. The matching term is highlighted in each result, and a count of total results appears. For best results search using specific keywords that are likely to appear in the content.

Some file types, such as TXT and DOCX, might be searchable without OCR processing. Scanned images and PDFs without an embedded text layer require OCR to be searchable.

Delete
