Description
The field url_norm
is essential for looking up URLs entered by humans, but it is disabled per default in reference.conf
and enabling it is buried as a side-effect to enabling warc.index.extract.linked.normalise
. This option should be default true
and have a dedicated entry, such as warc.index.extract.normalise_url
, which could also provide the default value for warc.index.extract.linked.normalise
.
Besides plain search, one case for normalising enabling per default for the Solr fields url_norm
, links
and links_images
is graph-queries. Normalising raises the number of false positives, but this shall be seen against the large number of false negatives in the case on non-normalisation due to http
/https
and www.foo.com
/foo.com
differences.
Another property is warc.index.extract.content.extractApachePreflightErrors
which validates PDFs and adds validation errors to the index. this is turned on per default. This is a heavy indexing step and was the primary cause of timeouts for webarchive indexing at the Royal Danish Library, until it was turned off. We recommend that the default is that it is turned off.
