Sunbelt Search
Sunbelt Search is a fulltext search engine installed with Sunbelt products since v4.0. It
has replaced the old Legacy fulltext of previous versions. The aim of this document is to
give a brief overview of Sunbelt Search. It describes its main features and attributes, as
well as the installation process.

Overview
Sunbelt Search ensures fast and effective searching through documents of various
formats. This is achieved by indexing the content of documents. By indexing the content
we understand “extraction” of words contained in the document, their positions and
number of occurrences. The engine allows searching for exact words, for words
containing specified groups of characters (defined by wildcards), and for phrases (groups
of words).

Every indexed document has its owner. Document owners are identified by a unique
number called a user token. This user token system allows defining rights ensuring that
users can search not only through their own set of documents but also through other
users’ documents.

Filtering
During filtering, which is the first step of document processing, we extract text from the
document. Filtering supports a wide variety of document formats.

Filtering is done in three steps:


1. Read text from document using filters;
2. The obtained text is then split into words. There is an occurrence
counter for each word; the number of occurrences of a word is
stored and used later for result ranking.
3. When the list of words is built, each item in this list is stored in
an index folder.

To index different types of documents you must have correct iFilters installed. Without
an appropriate IFilter, the file contents will not be indexed, and when you search for
those contents, you won't find them. The iFilters for Office documents and plain text files
are included in the operating system. However, you can download and install additional
iFilters e.g. for PDF or RTF documents.

Indexing rules
Words are stored in relation with their parent documents; this means that every word
occurs in the index only once. Information about word’s position and occurrence count in
the relevant document is expressed by mentioned relation.

Copyright© 2010 Sunbelt Software, Inc. All rights reserved. support@sunbeltsoftware.com
Scalability
The index is stored in the index folder (default location C:\Program Files\Sunbelt\
FullText \Index). As the default, a new subfolder is created for every 10 indexed
mailboxes.

Searching
Searches within a document are based on a queries describing the searching criteria. A
query can consist of exact words, search patterns (wildcards) and phrases. A search query
also contains information about the user executing it and the target set of documents to be
searched through. For example, the user can search only for their own documents or for
all documents which he/she can access.

The syntax is checked first, before execution of the respective query. If checking fails,
such a query cannot be executed and an error is reported to the user, describing the
mistake. If checking passes through, the respective query is executed. For every indexed
word there is a rank of occurrences in a document. The more times the specified word
occurs in the document, the higher is the document rank in search results.

The query language


The query language is a combination of strings to be searched for as well as the logical
operators AND, OR. The operator AND is not mandatory; if it is not present between two
search strings, the query engine searches for documents containing both strings. Sunbelt
Search supports also other operators: NOT, “+” and “-“.

Characters
Character Description Example
OR Links two terms and finds a matching "test data" OR test
document if either of the terms exist
in a document. This is equivalent to a searches for documents
union using sets. The symbol || can be that contain either "test
used in place of the word OR. data" or just "test"
AND It is the default conjunction operator. "test data" AND "test
This means that if there is no Boolean server"
operator between two terms, the
AND operator is used. The AND searches for documents
operator matches documents where that contain "test data" and
both terms exist anywhere in the text "test server"
of a single document. This is
equivalent to an intersection using
sets. The symbol && can be used in

Sunbelt Search for Sunbelt Exchange Archiver 4.2 4 sales@sunbeltsoftware.com


Copyright© 2010 Sunbelt Software, Inc. All rights reserved. support@sunbeltsoftware.com
place of the word AND.
+ Requires that the term after the "+" +test data
symbol exist somewhere in a the field
of a single document searches for documents
that must contain "test"
and may contain "data"
NOT Excludes documents that contain the "test data" NOT "test
term after NOT. This is equivalent to server"
a difference using sets. The symbol !
can be used in place of the word NOT searches for documents
Note: The NOT operator cannot be that contain "test data" but
used with just one term. For example, not "test server"
the following search will return no
results: NOT "test server".
- Excludes documents that contain the "test data" -"test server"
term after the "-" symbol
searches for documents
that contain "test data" but
not "test server"

How to Install
Sunbelt Search service is an optional component of various Sunbelt products, including
Exchange Archiver and File Archiver. If installed, it allows user to fulltext search
through archived emails and documents.

Copyright© 2010 Sunbelt Software, Inc. All rights reserved. support@sunbeltsoftware.com
The wizard opens as default on the Installation tab where you can choose between two
types of Sunbelt Exchange Archiver installation:

Express installation – all components installed on a single server

If you select Express installation, the whole Sunbelt product will be installed on the
machine (including the Sunbelt Search). For detailed information on how to install the
product, see the “Full Install Guide.”
IMPORTANT: To use the Sunbelt Search Service, you need to upload and enable the appropriate
post-processing plugin. It is done after installation in the Sunbelt Manager console. The plugin
can be found in C:\Program Files \ Common Files \ Pam \ Services \
PamPostProcessing \ Plugins (see the section “Enable fulltext search”).

Advanced installation – allows you to select which components you want to install. To
install Sunbelt Search feature only, choose this option.

We have selected Advanced installation in the previous dialog. In the next dialog you can
choose the installation folder. As the default the product installs in C:\Program
Files\Sunbelt. The installation folder can be changed by using the Browse button.

Further select the components you want to install on the local machine. To install Sunbelt
Search, check the respective check box.

Click the View EULA links to read the License Agreement. If you agree, check the I
accept the terms of license agreement check box. Then you can click Next.

In the Superuser settings window you need to specify an account with a mailbox under
which Sunbelt Exchange Archiver will be running. This user is referred to as superuser.
You can create a new account or use an existing one. Enter it as ‘domain\user’ or use the
Browse button to find the account. In the Search Active Directory pop-up window click
Find to display available users or enter its name in the Look for name text box. Select the
super-user account from the list. Back in the installation dialog fill in its password and
click Next.

If you have chosen to install the Sunbelt Search (see step 4), the Fulltext search settings
dialog will be displayed. Choose Sunbelt Search. In the Index folder text box, specify the
folder where the search index will be stored. It has to be a location with plenty of free
space as the size of the index is about 10% - 20% size of the whole archive. The default
index location is under C:\Program Files\Sunbelt\Fulltext. To change it, use the Browse
button.

(Another fulltext search engine which can be installed is MS Search. For more
information see the “Install Package Guide”.)

The installation summary displays settings you have specified in previous steps. It is
useful to print the summary. Click Install button to start the installation. Wait while the
components are being installed. When the installation finishes, click Finish.
IMPORTANT: To use the Sunbelt Search, you need to upload and enable the appropriate post-
processing plugin. This process is described in the “Enable Sunbelt Search” section.

How to update from 3.9 to 4.1


The installation process for Sunbelt products has changed significantly in version 4.0 and
the fulltext search engine has also changed. Therefore, direct update from earlier versions
is not possible.

NOTE: In Sunbelt versions lower than 4.0 a Legacy Fulltext search engine was used. Since
version 4.0, a new fulltext search engine is installed – Sunbelt Search.

Administrators can decide to install new Sunbelt Search as a fulltext search engine or
continue using Legacy fulltext. Independently of the administrator’s intention the
updating process differs for dedicated fulltext server and fulltext server installed with all
other components on one machine (all in one installation).

Dedicated fulltext server


To use new Sunbelt Search – Legacy fulltext has to be uninstalled. Then install Sunbelt
Search as described in the previous section.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All archived emails and documents will have to be reindexed. To do so,
configure the post-processing plugin and the plugin’s bookmark date has to be reset, so that older
documents are reindexed (see the next section “Enable Sunbelt Search”).

Further, in the Sunbelt Exchange Archiver Enterprise Manager on the Tools/


Options / Search settings make sure that the Sunbelt Search server option is selected.

In this case that legacy fulltext is installed on a separate machine, the administrator has
two options:

1. Continue using Legacy fulltext – in this case, an update is not needed, you can just
continue to use legacy fulltext.

Sunbelt Search for Sunbelt Exchange Archiver 4.2 9 sales@sunbeltsoftware.com


Copyright© 2010 Sunbelt Software, Inc. All rights reserved. support@sunbeltsoftware.com
NOTE: Settings in the Sunbelt Exchange Archiver Enterprise Manager should be the
following: on the Tools/ Options / Search settings check the Legacy fulltext option and
enter the name of your Fulltext server.

However, on the archiver server, if you start the mailbox permission synchronization
after this change, the fulltext permissions will not be set. You have to create a new
registry key to support the old legacy search option: USELEGACYFULLTEXT
(REG_DWORD) and you need to set it to value 1. This will cause the synchronization to
synchronize also fulltext permissions when the permission synchronization is performed.
The manager service must be restarted after this change.

All in one installation


In this case, the fulltext server and other components of Sunbelt Exchange Archiver are
installed on one machine. When the Sunbelt Exchange Archiver was updated to version
4.1, fulltext feature was uninstalled. You can choose either to reinstall old Legacy fulltext
or to install new Sunbelt Search:

If you have decided to continue using Legacy fulltext, you have to install and reconfigure
it again using the Fulltext setup v3.80.1 (it is the last fulltext setup where Legacy Fulltext
was supported)
NOTE: As a next step, Sunbelt Exchange Archiver must be configured to use the Legacy fulltext.
In the Sunbelt Exchange Archiver Enterprise Manager on the Tools/ Options /
Search settings tab, select the check the Legacy fulltext option and enter the name of your
Fulltext server.

If you start the mailbox permission synchronization after this change, the fulltext
permissions will not be set. You have to create a new registry key:

USELEGACYFULLTEXT (REG_DWORD) and you need to set it to value 1. This will


cause the synchronization to also synchronize fulltext permissions when the permission
synchronization is performed. The manager service must be restarted after this change.

If you want to use new Sunbelt Search, install it as described in the previous section.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All archived emails and documents will have to be reindexed. To do so,
configure the post-processing plugin and the plugin’s bookmark date has to be reset, so that older
documents are reindexed (see the next section “Enable Sunbelt Search”).
Further, in the Sunbelt Exchange Archiver Enterprise Manager on the Tools/ Options /
Search settings make sure that the Sunbelt Search server option is selected.

Enable Sunbelt Search
After the Sunbelt Search has been installed (as described in the previous sections), it has
to be enabled. To do so, you need to upload and enable the appropriate post-processing
plugin. For all Sunbelt products it is done after installation in the Manager console. The
plugin can be found on the Sunbelt server in C:\Program Files \ Common Files \ Pam \
Services \ PamPostProcessing \ Plugins.

In the following lines we will guide you through the process of plugin configuration for
Sunbelt Exchange Archiver.

disable and enable the plugin.

NOTE: If you remove a plugin by using the Remove button, it will stop completely and all
information about processed documents will be lost. However, the index remains. If you then
load that plugin again, you need to configure it. It will process all documents again, but the index
will not change.

Configure Sunbelt Search

Configuration of Sunbelt Search consist of 2 steps:

1. Configuring Post Processing


2. Configuring ExchangePAMWS to interact with the Sunbelt Search service.

Post processing configuration (indexing side – PAMSearch server):


1. Open the PAMPostProcessingSv.exe.config file on the PAM4Exchange server,
standard location:

C:\Program Files \ Common Files \ PAM \ Services \ PamPostProcessingSv \


PAMPostProcessingSv.exe.config
2. Check the lucenefturi key in the <exchange> section. It contains the remoting
address for the PAMSearch service. Example:
<add key="lucenefturi" value="tcp://PMAC-EX2007:8228/PamSearch" />

Sunbelt Search for Sunbelt Exchange Archiver 4.2 15 sales@sunbeltsoftware.com


Copyright© 2010 Sunbelt Software, Inc. All rights reserved. support@sunbeltsoftware.com
3. Ensure that the hsmserver key in the <exchange> section does not contain
“localhost”. It shall contain the name of the HSM server, otherwise PAMSearch
will look for HSM locally.
4. After setting the correct configuration restart the post processing service.

ExchangePAMWS configuration (search provider side – PAM4Exchange server)

1. Open the ExchangePAMWS web.config file on the PAM4Exchange server,


standard location:

C:\Program Files\Sunbelt\SEA\Web\ExchangePamWS\web.config
2. Check the lucenefturi key. It contains the remoting address for the Sunbelt Search
service. Example:
<add key="lucenefturi" value="tcp://PMAC-EX2007:8228/PamSearch" />
3. Test the searching functionality by archiving some sample emails, logging in to
the ArchiveWeb and making a test search query.

How to conduct fulltext search


Fulltext search is a part of two applications :
● Sunbelt Exchange Archiver Outlook AddIn
● ArchiveWeb

ArchiveWeb is an integral part of all Sunbelt products. It is used for browsing archived
emails and/or files. On the contrary, Sunbelt Exchange Archiver Outlook Addin is
applicable just for Sunbelt Exchange Archiver.

Sunbelt Exchange Archiver Outlook AddIn fulltext search


In case of our Sunbelt Exchange Archiver product, users can have Sunbelt Exchange
Archiver Outlook Addin installed. It allows administering of all archived and non-
archived emails directly in Outlook. Furthermore, the user can directly use fulltext search
in archived e-mails and attachments if the Sunbelt Search was installed.

Fulltext search can be used not only for searching through in archived emails and
attachments but even for searching in emails which were archived but are not accessible
in Outlook any more. The service is accessible either from the Sunbelt Exchange
Archiver menu or from Sunbelt Toolbar. (See the screenshots below.)

Sunbelt Search for Sunbelt Exchange Archiver 4.2 16 sales@sunbeltsoftware.com


Copyright© 2010 Sunbelt Software, Inc. All rights reserved. support@sunbeltsoftware.com
By clicking on Fulltext search in the Sunbelt Exchange Archiver menu, or by clicking
on the Search icon on the toolbar, you will get the following window displayed.

You can enter the desired word or expression in the provided text box. Click Search. The
entered keyword is subsequently looked for in the:

 subject;

Sunbelt Search for Sunbelt Exchange Archiver 4.2 17 sales@sunbeltsoftware.com


Copyright© 2010 Sunbelt Software, Inc. All rights reserved. support@sunbeltsoftware.com
 email body;
 attachments;

The result of the search is then displayed in the Search results pane, where you can
retrieve emails simply by selecting an email and clicking on the Display button or by
double-clicking the desired email.

The entered words can be combined using logical operators AND, OR. The operator
AND is not mandatory. In the case no logical operator is included, the fulltext search
query engine searches for documents containing all the given words.

Sunbelt Search for Sunbelt Exchange Archiver 4.2 18 sales@sunbeltsoftware.com


Copyright© 2010 Sunbelt Software, Inc. All rights reserved. support@sunbeltsoftware.com
Example: search for ‘test AND fulltext’ is the same as search for the string ‘test fulltext’ or
‘fulltext test’.

The searched word (or string) can be also specified by a pattern. The pattern contains the
character string to search for and can contain a wildcard: ?, * (see Appendix).

NOTE: Fulltext search is not case sensitive.


When you intend to look for a phrase (e.g. a group of words that functions as a single unit in the
syntax of a sentence) you should use quotation marks “ ”.

Example: When searching for the phrase “text search” you won’t get as a result a mail
containing the phrase “fulltext search”.

There is a counter for each word, which counts the number of occurrences of each
respective word having been searched for. The number of occurrences is included under
the Rank column. The outcome of the fulltext search is listed descending, depending on
the number listed under the Rank column.

With Archive Web the user can easily access his/her own archived emails or files, as
well as others. Additionally, the user can search through them by using advanced options.
Access to archived documents (in case of Sunbelt File Archiver) depends on the rights set
in the file system. Access rights to other users‘ mailboxes for the given user (in case of
Sunbelt Exchange Archiver) are set in Mailbox Rights Manager of Sunbelt Exchange
Archiver Enterprise Manager.

The Search text box in the upper part of the window was designed for fast and easy
searching in archives. Enter the desired expression and click on the search icon adjacent
to the Search text box. The defined expression will be searched for in Sunbelt Exchange
Archiver archive as well as Sunbelt File Archiver archive.

the Sunbelt Exchange Archiver Manager as described in the previous sections.

You can also specify your search criteria in more details by using the Subject and From
text boxes. In that case emails with the given subject and/or sender (From text box) will
be searched for. You do not need to enter the whole name in the From text box. If you
click the Resolve button, all senders‘ names containing the specified string will be
displayed and you can choose which sender(s) you want to search for.

The Sent To text box,.(the possibility to search for emails sent to given recipients) is
available if the “Recipients” post processing plugin is installed (see the “ArchiveWeb
manual”). In the Sent To text box, enter the desired recipient (more recipients have to be
separated by semicolon “;”). You do not need to enter the whole name. If you click the
Resolve button, all recipients names containing the string specified in the Sent To text
box will be displayed and you can choose which recipient(s) you want to search for.

In the Recipient type down-drop box you can further specify your criteria, i.e. specify
whether the desired recipient(s) appeared on the To, Cc or Bcc line, on any of them or
only on the To line as the only person when the email was sent. In the Tagged with
section you can specify which category of tagged emails should be searched through.

Further, if you click Marked with all tags radio button, the search result will contain only
emails which are tagged with ALL selected tags. If you click Marked with any texts radio
button, the search result will contain emails tagged with any of the selected tags.

If you are given access rights to other mailboxes, you may want the search to be
conducted in these mailboxes, too. If that is the case, select the desired mailboxes on the
Mailboxes tab or check Select all check box to search in all accessible mailboxes.
NOTE: Partially accessible mailboxes have little red lock attached to the icon.

Other search settings can be specified on the More choices tab:

If Search in version is checked, each email version satisfying search criteria will be listed
separately in search results list
If Search in deleted documents is checked, ITEMS MARKED FOR DELETION IN THE
ARCHIVE WILL BE SEARCHED, too
NOTE: Should you check also the only in deleted documents check box, only items marked for
deletion will be searched.

NOTE: Email is marked for deletion in the archive, if it was, for instance, deleted from Outlook
using the Sunbelt Exchange Archiver AddIn functionality. In Search Results it is highlighted in
red. Such an item cannot be restored using the Sunbelt Exchange Archiver Enterprise Manager.
However, when such items are found, they can be exported to predefined mailbox or PST file (see
the “ArchiveWeb manual”).

If you select Compare search result with mailbox content, items in the search results
which have no shortcuts on MS Exchange (so called lost items) will be highlighted in
blue.

On the Advanced tab you may restrict your search by setting some other criteria in the
Field, Operation, and Value: fields, e.g.

Field: Archiving date


Operation: On
Value: month/day/year 01/02/2007

Then click Add. Your specification will be displayed in the list view. In the same way
add as many criteria as you need. You can remove the specific or all criteria from the list
by clicking Delete or Delete all buttons. Search results can be saved, exported, tagged etc.
using the Actions menu – see the “ArchiveWeb manual”.

Appendix
Sunbelt Search basic syntax references

Terms
A search query can consist of terms and operators. There are two types of terms:
A Single Term is a single word such as "test" or "hello".

A phrase is a group of words surrounded by double quotes such as "hello dolly" (the
word order specified by the query is relevant).

Multiple terms can be combined together with Boolean operators to form a more complex
query (see below).

Wildcard Searches
Sunbelt Search supports single and multiple character wildcard searches.

Characters
Character Description Example
? single character wildcard; replaces any te?t matches text, test
single character etc.
* multiple character wildcard; replaces 0 or test* matches test,
more characters tests, tester etc.

NOTE: The first 2 characters of the search phrase cannot contain any of the above mentioned
wildcard specification characters, i.e. ? or *.

Boolean operators
Boolean operators allow terms to be combined through logic operators. Sunbelt Search
supports AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-" as Boolean operators.
NOTE: Boolean operators must be ALL CAPS.

Characters
Character Description Example
OR links two terms and finds a matching "test data" OR test
document if either of the terms exist in a
document. This is equivalent to a union searches for
using sets. The symbol || can be used in documents that
place of the word OR. contain either "test

data" or just "test"
AND It is the default conjunction operator. This "test data" AND "test
means that if there is no Boolean operator server"
between two terms, the AND operator is
used. The AND operator matches searches for
documents where both terms exist documents that
anywhere in the text of a single contain "test data" and
document. This is equivalent to an "test server"
intersection using sets. The symbol &&
can be used in place of the word AND.
+ requires that the term after the "+" +test data
symbol exist somewhere in a the field of
a single document searches for
documents that must
contain "test" and
may contain "data"
NOT excludes documents that contain the term "test data" NOT "test
after NOT. This is equivalent to a server"
difference using sets. The symbol ! can be
used in place of the word NOT searches for
Note: The NOT operator cannot be used documents that
with just one term. For example, the contain "test data" but
following search will return no results: not "test server"
NOT "test server".
- excludes documents that contain the term "test data" -"test
after the "-" symbol server"

searches for
documents that
contain "test data" but
not "test server"

Grouping
Sunbelt Search supports using parentheses to group clauses to form sub queries. This can
be very useful if you want to control the boolean logic for a query. To search for either
"test" or "server" and "data" use the query:

(test OR server) AND data

This eliminates any confusion and makes sure that "data" must exist and either term
"test" or "server" may exist in the document.

Escaping Special Characters


Sunbelt Search supports escaping special characters that are part of the query syntax.

The current list special characters are: + - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \

To escape these character and suppress their special meaning use the "\" (backslash)
before the character. For example to search for "(1+1):2" use the query:

\(1\+1\)\:2
