What's new in Release 12.x

Release 12.5 of Goldfire includes the following enhancements:

• Connectivity Settings Management - Identity profiles can be used to store the account credentials for a content source. Multiple indexing tasks can use the same profile so that when account credentials need to be updated only the identity profile needs to be edited. This saves the administrator from manually updating the saved credentials in every task.
• Doc Viewer is installed but not enabled as part of the Goldfire installation process so that corporate IT does not have to perform a separate task to set it up.
• Additional usage metrics for document opening, exporting, and saving to My Data are available for administrators to understand end user activity.
• Indexing Manager has better tracking of tasks from in-progress to completed.

Version 12.5 of Goldfire Web client includes the following changes and enhancements:

• Sort by the field value - this option can only be enabled for only corporate knowledge bases, and specifically for the Datetime and Numeric metadata types. When enabled, corresponding additional sorting criteria appears under the Sort by option, which appears above the results grid in the Goldfire client.

• Removed support for Oracle User Databases. Oracle user database options will also be removed from the installation wizard. The online update checks to see whether the current user database is Oracle, and warns you accordingly.
• When displaying query results, documents with the following formats can be viewed from the results page with the extracted sentence highlighted: TXT, DOC, RTF, WPD, HTML, PPT, PDF, XLS, and XML. Now, where the native program in which the document was created is not installed on your computer, Goldfire uses a DocumentView feature to display and highlight the content in your web browser.
• Repurposed our Google Chrome extension that enables highlighting in Goldfire web client search results to work with Microsoft Edge. Click to describe how to install the extension.

• When the URL of a document that is referenced in a My Data collection changes, (for example, when a document server is replaced in your enterprise), use the Replace URL option to update the reference path. The path is updated the next time you display your My Data collection.
  
  The Replace URL command, located in the Source tab of the Knowledge Bases page, enables you to change one or more URLs simultaneously. This feature replaces the URL so that the source documents do not require re-indexing.
• Improved response times with the Researcher module by retrieving documents, facets, and categories in parallel mode.
• A new version of the Goldfire Search API provides optimized methods for retrieval of documents, facets, and categories.
• The new Goldfire API supports requests to My Data, including searching in My Data.
• The Select Where to Search dialog box is resizable.

• Using Goldfire Admin, process PDFs in a given knowledge base using optical character recognition (OCR) so that Goldfire can index the results.
• Search within your My Data collections. When My Data is enabled, other knowledge bases cannot be selected. Within the My Data pane, you can create groups under which collections can be moved. This enables you to customize and organize the My Data navigation tree, and ultimately, to leverage the efficiency of searching curated sources.

• Copy path to the document source: Goldfire enables you to copy a link to the path of a document in your search results so you can easily access this document and related meta data.
• Precision parameter in the Metadata Manager: When you are working in the Admin mode of Goldfire Web application, there is a new Precision parameter in the Configure dialog box where you can configure meta data and descriptive fields. It allows you to specify the level of numeric precision you want to see for queries that contain numeric data. You will only see the Precision parameter when the filter is of a Float type.
• New patent fields: Goldfire Web now offers new patent fields (Abstract, Title, Claims, Detailed Description, Drawing Description, Background Summary, Asignee, Inventor, Publication Number, Application Number, Application Date, Nonpatent References, Patent Agent, Primary Examiner, Assistant Examiner, CPC Class, IPC Class) in the advanced search dialog box when you conduct a query.
• Rename a collection in My Data: Goldfire now offers two options for when you want to rename a collection in My Data. You can double click a collection name located under Collections, and then type a new name for the collection. Or you can click Rename Collection and type a new name for the collection.

• Document Location filter: When a document in your search results is a part of your network shares, Goldfire provides a filter that allows you to locate the exact location (specific folder and specific machine) of this document in your network shares. Using this filter, you can refine your search results to display only documents stored in a specific machine or a specific folder in your network shares. This empowers you to uncover other, related documents that are stored in the same folder or machine.
• My Subscriptions check box: When you are conducting a search in Goldfire and you are also logged into Engineering Workbench, select the My Subscriptions check box to refine your search results with Accuris sources that are a part of your subscriptions.

Boolean-free searching enables you to search all metadata associated with a document without Boolean operands. Wildcard searching enables you to replace characters in the words of a query with an asterisk (*). Improved PDF Searching enables you to define key fields that are extracted  from PDF documents during the indexing process.
