In Release 5.0.3 Lotus released the Inxight Summarizer on the NT platform. The Summarizer is enabled, and the new search engine enabled as well, when the following notes.ini server variable is set: FT_LIBNAME=ftgtr34.

There is a topic entitled "Domain Search Security" in Chapter 7 of the Help book Administering the Domino System which indicates a search can, under certain circumstances, return results to a user who cannot access the results document. If summarization is enabled, this problem is exacerbated because the result of a search will now include several key sentences from the document when detailed results are requested. If this occurs, you may wish to disable the Summarizer by setting the server notes.ini variable to FTG_No_Summary=1.

There are other new notes.ini variables and settings which affect the behavior of domain search and the Summarizer.

In R5.03 Lotus added a notes.ini variable that allows users and administrators to select the location and name of the Domain Index. By default this is located beneath the Domino Data Directory and has the Name FTDOMAIN.DI. By adding the setting FT_DOMAIN_DIRECTORY_NAME = directory to the notes.ini file, Domino will support directory links and Index relocation. FT_INDEX_ATTACHMENTS=2 will override any setting in a Notes database or the domain indexer and also turn off attachment indexing. (FT_INDEX_ATTACHMENTS=1 is an unconditional command to index all attachments.)

There is another new notes.ini variable, FT_SUMM_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE. If it is set to "default" or if it is not set at all, the native language from the locale is used as the default language. If it is set to the NULL string, "english" is used as the default language. Finally, it can be set to any language like "Dutch." Whenever the Summarizer assigns a language to a document, and the Summarizer is unable to summarize in that language, the Summarizer will try to summarize using the default language instead. Please note that if the native language is one which is not yet supported, like Japanese, the FT_SUMM_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE should be set to NULL or English.

Whenever the Summarizer cannot summarize a document because it is too short, or the Summarizer cannot summarize a document because it cannot summarize in the language specified, no error message and no summary will be produced.
