To change the properties of a library, please open the library manager and move your mouse over the library you want to edit. A new menu icon “settings” will appear at the right side of the library in the manager panel. A new window will open to allow to change the current library settings and parameters. To setup a new library, please use the “+” button at the top of the library manager panel:
Click on the “Link Drives” icon in the menu panel and activate additional storage locations with the on/off button for each location.
Open the “Library Manager” from the menu panel. The “NEW” library button in upper right corner of the “Libraries” panel opens a new dialog to build an individual document library.
New Library Button
A new window opens to set all parameters for the new library.
Create New Library Screen
Now, just add the requested information to setup the library:
Select Folder Screen
Network Team Libraries are libraries which are stored in a central network folder. This allows users to directly connect to the library without downloading local libraries. The downside is that libraries from network devices slow down the indexing and searching process. So it is not recommended to use team network libraries.
If you create a team network library via the advanced settings panel during library creation, you must make sure that the selected network path for the library file is available for all people with whom you want share this library later. Otherwise the colleagues will not be able to connect to this library.
A valid UNC network path looks like: \\server\share
You can start building your first library by using the “manage” button.
In the library panel on the right screen, press the “create new” [+] button and provide name and folders for indexing. After saving the first library settings, you can start the indexing process.
Thats it; you have created your first library. The indexing process will run in the background.
In order to share and receive libraries, pleace activate a license via our noggle.online portal. You can start with a BASIC license for free which comes with basic account registration. After selecting your license type (Basic or Pro) you will receive a activation eMai with an authorization code. If your domain is part of an ENTERPRISE license type, you do not need to buy a seperate license. Just register your noggle account for free – your corporate enterprise license for your Noggle Client will be set automatically! Just wait for a confirmation eMail with your authorization code in your inbox.
You need to navigtate to the configuration screen via the Settings button in the application title bar. Please put in your eMail address, set your password, confirm it and insert the authorization code from the eMail.
By pressing the “Set account Password” button – the client checks for a vaild license and authorizes your application for our managed services. This is only needed once for initial activation.
3. START SHARING AND RECEIVING LIBRARIES
You are now ready to share an receive libraries via the “share” button if you navigate over the library entries in the library panel after indexing has finished.
The Noggle library functions are based on Lucene, an open source, highly scalable text search-engine library available from the Apache Software Foundation. Web sites like Wikipedia and LinkedIn have been powered by Lucene.
Noggle brings the best availabe search and indexing technology right to your desktop, the Noggle App.
Based on Lucene in the back, Noggle is able to achieve fast search responses because, instead of searching the text directly, it searches an index instead – the “noggle library”. This would be the equivalent of retrieving pages in a book related to a keyword by searching the index at the back of a book, as opposed to searching the words in each page of the book.
Noggle library tools focus mainly on text indexing and searching. It is the core element that is used to build different search capabilities. Based on Lucene, the noggle library core has many features. It:
The Noggle library core lets you index any data available in textual format. Therefore, Noggle uses pre-processing and parsing techniques to extract the plain text from different source formats like Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF files and other formats. Noggle can be used with almost any data source as long as textual information can be extracted from it. The first step of noggle before building the library by indexing the data is to make it available in simple text format. Noggle uses custom parsers and data converters; mainly based on the Microsoft IFilter technology.
Indexing is a process of converting text data into a format that facilitates rapid searching. A simple analogy is an index you would find at the end of a book: That index points you to the location of topics that appear in the book.
Noggle stores the input data in a data structure called an inverted index, which is stored on the file system or memory as a set of index files. Most Web search engines use an inverted index. It lets users perform fast keyword look-ups and finds the documents that match a given query. Before the text data is added to the index, it is processed by an custom noggle analyzer.
The analyzer is converting the text data into a fundamental unit of searching, which is called as term. During analysis, the text data goes through multiple operations: extracting the words, removing common words, ignoring punctuation, reducing words to root form, changing words to lowercase, etc. Analysis happens just before indexing and query parsing. Analysis converts text data into tokens, and these tokens are added as terms in the Noggle library index.
As a result, a high-performant library is created which can be shared with your peers to execute search request in milliseconds over the full content. The indexing and library building process is not only providing fast search results – it also provides relevant ranking scores back to the search results.
Once your decide to share a noggle library with one of your peers, the library will be encrypted and obfuscated once it leaves your client to the noggle network. Only the named peer is available to decrypt the library – so your library is always secure in the noggle network.
