XML Data Source
XML Data Source is used to index XML files by reading all information inside the tags. Header tags become meta tags in SearchBlox, and body content becomes the document’s description/content.**
Configuring SearchBlox
Before using the XML Data Source, make sure SearchBlox is installed properly and create a Custom Collection.
Configuration details of XML Data Source
- The XML file must have record tags containing the URL to be indexed, along with other metadata inside metadata tags for the connector to work.
