Speeding up Notes applications
Tue, May 1st 2012 11:11p IONET Software Our FT Search Manager product (http://www.ionetsoftware.com/search) has been around for a while now, and being a search tool, we're always trying to increase it's search speed. The latest version (4.6 - sound familiar?) is a lot faster than previous versions - FYI here's a short YouTube demo showing the faster speed achieved http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFcxSQ8PaIM. If anyone's interested, here are the main methods we used to speed it up; 1. Each multi-threaded search agent only populates [read] Keywords: agent

Getting the most from your Notes environment
Wed, Apr 11th 2012 7:10p IONET Software One of the problems with the continual upgrade cycle of computing (--> Connections, Quickr, XPages etc) is that it doesn't make efficient use of your existing environment - it's like buying a new TV when you could improve your viewing by re-tuning the old one. Notes has been around for 20+ years, and it's distributed nature means users have their data scattered around many locations - Mail, Archives, Discussions, Document Repositories, File Systems, Apps, Quickr etc. Over time, finding t [read] Keywords: connections

Search speed improvements
Mon, Feb 13th 2012 8:11p IONET Software We're pleased to announce that the latest version of the FT Search Manager (v4.3) is at least 25% faster than older versions - and often more, depending on the content being searched. This was achieved by rewriting the Notes search engine, so that each search thread first identifies the top x documents matching it's criteria & sort options, e.g. 'Person contains *acme*' & 'newest first', and then populates only enough results to make up the first result page. The last thread to fin [read] Keywords: notes

A better Notes Mail search
Thu, Jan 26th 2012 9:10p IONET Software Since the start of 2012, we've spent a lot of time adding functions to our FT Search Manager product, specifically for Mail & Archive searching. The results are much, much easier to use, and it's by far the easiest way to find mail you're looking for, no matter it's location. For example, you can start searching from a Toolbar icon (e.g. anywhere in the Notes Client); or perhaps an Action in your mail file; then search using whatever fields & options the Administrator has enabled; [read] Keywords: inotes

Archiver for Notes - Automatic Updates
Wed, Oct 12th 2011 5:10p IONET Software One of the features that gets most use in our Archiver for Notes and Search Manager products is automatic updating. This is an optional setting that can be used to auto-update the products in a customer environment, most usually to add bugfixes. Via this procedure, we get notification of errors that occur during archiving (and when archiving millions of documents in remote environments, especially in custom applications, there can be document-related errors). We then investigate the problem, and [read] Keywords: adminp

Loading file urls in the native application via Notes
Wed, Aug 24th 2011 11:42p IONET Software When working on our File Indexing/Searching product, we noticed that when using a Notes Client to open HTML links to a url starting file://, the target file would open in the Browser, if the Browser was able to recognise the extension. What we wanted was the file to open in it's native application. For example, a link to file://c:/test.pdf would load test.pdf in the default Browser, and not in Acrobat, even if Acrobat was installed on the PC. After a lot of messing about we found that a malfo [read] Keywords: notes
