What's New
Support of Japanese
Japanese indexing has been deeply reviewed to offer a better search experience
Transliteration is now supported for all alphabets. When a Japanese word is detected, it is detected and indexed both in its alphabet and in hiragana. When a word is searched for at query time, the query is made on its alphabet and in Hiragana, so that users can make queries in the alphabet of their choice and get results whatever the alphabet used in the source document.
For more details, see the "Configuring Data Processing > Tokenizing Text > Using native tokenizers > Japanese tokenizer" section in the CloudView Configuration guide.
Suggest is now fully operational.
Specific tuning for spellcheck on Japanese content has been documented. For more details, see the CloudView Configuration guide "Configuring Search Queries > Adding 'Did you mean?' spell-check > About spell-check > Recommended Settings" section and the
"Configuring Search Queries > Adding 'Did you mean?' spell-check > Setting up spell-check > Set up spell-check for CJK" section.
Lots of little enhancements.
 
Preview and thumbnails for Office documents
Preview and thumbnails for Office documents have been greatly improved, among which:
Preview:
o Prior to this release, we couldn't navigate on query occurrences in PPT files or in MS Excel files with multiple pages.
o MS Word preview is closer to the original file formatting.
Thumbnails
o MS Excel file thumbnails are now better cropped to display a more representative view of the page.
Upgrade notes
CloudView R2016x, R2016x R1, R2016x R2, R2016x R3 and R2016x R4 configurations are fully compatible with CloudView R2016x R5.
Warning: Due to a minor bug fix, the order in which the "before start" and "after end" optional date category facets are displayed, when sorting on date, is no longer the same.
You now see the:
two first values when sorting by date in descending order,
and the two last values when sorting by date in ascending order.
