About OmniPage Search Indexer

The first of its kind - Add image PDF, Fax and Scanned Documents to
Google Desktop Search. Now you can use a single key-word or phrase to
find all of your documents - paper and digital - using the ScanSoft
OmniPage Search Indexer with Google Desktop Search.

The ScanSoft OmniPage Search Indexer creates index data from PDF and
image-based content without changing the original. The plug-in uses
ScanSoft's world-leading OCR, as well as a lightning fast PDF indexing
engine. ScanSoft is the OCR behind the world's largest book scanning
projects, and has been selected by nearly 100% of commercial vendors
delivering imaging solutions, including Autodesk, Brother, Canon,
Captiva, Corex, Dell, HP, FileNET, Kofax, Lexmark, NSI, Omtool, Verity,
Visioneer and Xerox.

The ScanSoft OmniPage Search Indexer works as a plug-in to Google
Desktop Search. It will automatically index PDF (normal and scanned),
TIF/TIFF, JPG/JPEG, BMP and PaperPort MAX files when your PC is idle.
You can enable/disable its operation via the "Desktop Preferences"
within Google Desktop Search.

There is no Start>>Program or user interface to the OmniPage Search
Indexer. It operates automatically within Google Desktop Search. It
will index your image-based content automatically whenever your PC is
idle. Please see desktop.google.com for information on Google Desktop
Search, and www.scansoft.com/omnipage/search for information on the
OmniPage Search Indexer.

I downloaded the plugin and installed it this morning. However, it is
not indexing. It didnt ask me to register but it does not appear to be
working. Any ideas?

[William P. Murphy]

Check various files, I know mine is only partially indexing and I installed it yesterday.  I haven't figured out why yet, anyone else experiencing these problems or come across a resolution?

[CrotonMark]

I keep opening files - a technique that works for xls and doc files but
still nothing with this new PDF indexer

[William P. Murphy]

I tried that too, to no avail.  I even used TweakGDS to delete the index and re-index from scratch, and a good portion of my tif files are there, however some are still missing.  And that created a new problem, now I get an error when trying to index network files that I didn't get before.  My permissions are correct, I believe, but I get the following error message: "Unknown error accessing files during crawling."  I had seen that reported before, and upon searching the groups, I didn't find a clear cut answer.  Anyone know how to fix this secondary issue, other than opening the files located on the network to pull into the index?  I'm looking to have the network drive indexed automatically like it's supossed to.

Mine's working fine- at last. pdf's (image), png's (text), jpg's
(text).
Make sure you get the 6.03Mb version posted a few days after the first
expiry.
It doesn't seem to prompt for activation, even if you use the clean
tool.

I finally simply moved the index, which lately seemed to include a
repeat index of the same jpg which I'd not toched and had no special
interest in. Nor did it seem to start re-indexing whatever I tried.

But now, starting from scratch, it is working as it should.
