Google Search Appliance: Guide to Software Release 7.0 7
Index Compressed Files
Beginning with release 7.0, the Google Search Appliance supports crawling and indexing compressed
files in .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, and .tgz formats.
To enable the search appliance to crawl these types of compressed files, use the Crawl and Index >
Crawl URLs page in the Admin Console. To learn more, click Help Center > Crawl and Index > Crawl
URLs.
Dynamic Navigation Enhancements
In this release, dynamic navigation has been enhanced to support more date formats and multi-valued
attributes. Also, dynamic navigation now supports adding attributes based on entities discovered by
Entity Recognition.
To learn more, click Help Center > Serving > Dynamic Navigation in the Admin Console.
Access Control List Enhancements
Content systems allow for ACL information to be applied to groups of documents through inheritance.
In release 7.0, the Google Search Appliance is able to model a wide variety of security mechanisms by
using ACL inheritance for per-URL ACLs. To specify ACL inheritance, use the new acl element, which also
provides attributes that enable you to specify a URL, principal (user or group), access (permit or deny),
namespace, and case sensitivity.
To learn more about the new acl element and inheritance, see the Feeds Protocol Developer’s Guide.
Also in release 7.0, you can change the number of principals to add to a per-URL ACL by using the Crawl
and Index > Host Load Schedule page in the Admin Console. To learn more, click Help Center > Crawl
and Index > Host Load Schedule.
Also new in this release, the search appliance can accept per-URL ACLs, along with documents at crawl
time, through the X-GSA-External-Metadata HTTP response header. To learn more, see Managing
Search for Controlled-Access Content.
Entity Biasing
In support of Entity Recognition, result biasing has been extended to support entity biasing. This feature
enables you to increase or decrease a document's score when it contains an entity that matches a
specified name:content pair.
To specify your preferred adjustments for entities, select the entities from the pull-down menu on the
Serving > Result Biasing > Edit page in the Admin Console. The menu is populated with entities that
are added by using the Crawl and Index > Entity Recognition page.
To learn more, click Help Center > Serving > Result Biasing > Edit.
Configure Multiple LDAP Servers
Starting with release 7.0, you can configure multiple LDAP servers on a Google Search Appliance. There
is no limit to the number of LDAP server configurations that you can create.
