I m searching for exsample for "ebcdi" and PB comes up with 2 different PDF Files. But I am sure that "ebcdi" is mentioned in minimum 3 more documents.
Rebuilding the search index made no improvement.
In output.log i found:
BrokenFiles:
152 total:
.....
windows explorer finds about 10 txt.files with "ebcdi" in the mybrain\txt\ directory but it is not abel to search in the pdf files either.
OS: Win 7
PB: 5.5.2.2
J 1.6.0_17
Any ideas?

Reality, Thank you for posting. The BrokenFiles report contains names of attachments that PB was not able to index. If the attachments you are sure about appear in the list that indicates why they are not being found. In such a case rebuilding the search index will be of no use.
PB should be able to index PDF attachments without a problem. Try setting PB to run as administrator then try attaching PDF's and searching. To set PB to run as administrator Right Click PersonalBain in your Start menu then select Properties > Comptibility (tab) > Run this Program as an administrator.
Thanks,
Moe

Thank you for your answer.
I found out that some of the pdf files have some protections.
write protection or
comment protection
does that have to do something withe the search index?
PB is already set to administrator mode....

Me again,
I thought it would be a good idea to send you the pdf files as an example.
The first one ist the original file. It have all posible protections.
The second one is the same file, but i manipulate the settings with a tool. (I hope they will not read here. Please delete the attachments later.)
The second file is searchable in the Windows Explorer with adobe's IFilter. I think the first one is not.
I am testing with "ebcdi" that is mentioned in both files.
PB is not able to finde any file of these.

Hey,
I habe got a partly solution.
My search key was wrong. ebcdi was not mentioned in the document. ebcdic was mentioned.
Windows Explorer is finding ebcdic when i put ebcdi in... It would bee nice if PB would too.
With the right keyword PB is also finding the word in the protected document. :-)
I have still the problem with the broken documents. I found out that some of the documents are realy broken but the moste are searchable with the IFilter.
I was not able to find "induktion" wiht PB in the attached document. "klausur2.pdf"
Now i re-attached the file again and.. hey..I was able to find "induktion" in this document. How is that possible. Is that because PB was not set to adminstrator mode at the beginning?
Do I have to do that with all the 150 broken files?

:-) and again,
I am sorry, the document was not searchable with PB. I merged it with another document, then it was searchable.
I attached the merged document. test.pdf
Try to find "induktion" again.
This document is made with iText 2.1.7
The other one was made wiht Ghostscript
Sorry for all that chaos...

Reality,

IFilter may handle indexing documents differently then PB, so comparing IFilter with PB is like comparing apples and oranges.

If this is the case,try the following:
- Close PB if open.
- Make a backup copy of your ".brain" file and your "_brain" folder then store them somewhere safe.
- In your "_brain" folder locate the folder "txt" then delete it.
- In your "Program Files\PersonalBrain" folder locate the "Brokenfiles.dat" file then delete it.
- Restart PB then do a re-index via File > Utilities > Rebuild Search Index.
Please let me know if this works for you.
Thanks,
Moe

Thanks for your answer,
It looks like it worked.
I renamed brockenfiles.dat -> brockenfiles.altdat
and output.log -> output.altlog
Rebuild the search index...
and now the output.log shows:
Brocken Files
[empty]
I also did some search-tests and could find all words/documents i was looking for.
Thanks very much for your help...
Rene
