    Help - Can't get Zoom to index my site

    I can't get Zoom to index my files because they don't use any extension. Here are some example URLs:

    http://restaurants.placedash.com/al
    http://restaurants.placedash.com/mn
    http://restaurants.placedash.com/b/20279761

    I tried "Scan files with no extensions" under Scan Options but that didn't change the results. What am I missing?

    I'm using the free version currently but plan to upgrade as soon as I figure out if this issue can be resolved.

    Those URLs should be indexed if you have "Scan files with no extensions" checked. They might be skipped for some other reason. You should check the "Log" tab, and turn on Skipped messages. There should be a reason given.

    More information here:

    Perhaps your base URL is not permitting it to be indexed. e.g. if your base URL is only http://www.placedash.com , then it would consider http://restaurants.placedash.com to be an external domain.

    If this is the case, you need to specify multiple base URLs. See chapter 2.1.5 of the Users Guide.

      Thanks Ray! According to the error log, my files are too large to be indexed.

      Are file sizes a limitation for the Professional or Enterprise editions?
