4.1.0 Release notes

New features

  • Personally Identifiable Information (PII) has been extended to recognise data from the Netherlands, Portugal, and Italy.

    Exonar will now detect Postal Codes, National ID numbers, and telephone numbers for these countries and languages.

    This results in name changes to some of the metadata fields:

    • NI Numbers is now National ID Numbers

    • NI Number Count is now National ID Number Count

    • Postcodes is now Postal Codes

    • Postcode Count is now Postal Code Count

    This should not affect existing saved searches or workflows.

Upgrade notes

  • This version requires a re-index of the Exonar search. Depending on the amount of crawled data this could take a significant amount of time.

Improvements

  • Better language detection with small documents.

  • Name detection now works with names that include a full stop (.). For example:

    • George W. Bush

    • George R. R. Martin

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where, under certain circumstances, a crawl would not resume when clicking the resume button in the UI. This affected Windows Files Share (SMB) and Exchange 2010 using the new crawler on systems running version 4.0 or later.

  • Fixed an issue where using workflows could sometimes overwrite the document body stored within the search engine. This only occurred with items ingested from a database crawl and affected systems running v4.0 or later.

  • Fixed an issue where simple search displayed a “Server Error” if the search criteria was preceded by a pound sign or logical NOT symbol (£ and ¬). This affected all versions running 3.0 and later.

Known issues

  • Postal codes ingested from a database may have the incorrect hit highlighting in the Database Preview screen.

    After ingestion, the postal code is displayed normally in the search results and the correct postal code is stored within the search engine.

  • If an item is tagged with either a £ or ¬ it will not be displayed after drilling through the Tags chart form the Data Overview dashboard.

  • Empty text documents crawled via SMB/Windows File share are incorrectly categorised as “Other/Unknown file type” instead of “Documents”.

  • UK telephone numbers showing international country code are displayed including a leading 0.

    UK Telephone numbers should either include the country dial code (+44) and exclude the leading zero or exclude the international country code and include the leading zero.

    This may affect saved searches if they looking for a 10 or 11-digit UK telephone numbers.

  • Drilling down in the word cloud from the Data Overview dashboard is not possible.
