- sgc 4y agoIs it easy to set up indexing for html / xml? Can you extract metadata from the file, etc?
- james_in_the_uk 4y agoOur content is in html format but stored inside a MSSQL database. It worked out of the box for me. I don't think that Manticore comes with a crawler; if you need this you'd have to implement it yourself.

- sgc 4y agoI was talking about local indexing. Nice to know it can deal with this use case relatively easily.
- james_in_the_uk 4y agoYes it was straightforward. The documentation makes it sound more complex to implement than I remember it being.
