The OCR Engine used by Full-Text Search is optimized for best results. OCR format settings can be configured in the OnBase Configuration module for the Document Types indexed.
The OCR process is only performed for documents indexed with pagination enabled. Text documents do not use an OCR format on indexing because text is always indexed using a proprietary text parser.
If no other OCR settings are configured for a Document Type being indexed, the following settings are used by the Full-Text Search:
-
Full Text (Index) <Default>: The settings optimized for indexing documents.
-
Full Text (View) <Default>: The settings optimized for viewing documents.
The following OCR format settings are not supported by Full-Text Search:
-
Output Format
-
Do not OCR PDF documents
-
Create PDF/A compatible output
-
Report per-page timing statistics
Language settings are respected. The default language is English, so non-English languages should change the default language to match the language of the documents being indexed.
It is a best practice to ensure that all documents are rotated for natural, top-down viewing. If the OCR format for the Document Type containing a rotated document does not have rotation enabled, search results may not be highlighted correctly.
For complete details on adjusting the OCR settings, see the Configuring OCR Formats appendix in the Full-Text Search module reference guide.
