Fix full text search results within PDF and DocX documents

We found that several installations of Lotus Domino 8.5.1 and 8.5.2 had issues when searching a full-text indexed database with attachment conversion filters turned on. When searching for content within the attachment, no results were displayed.
 
This is due to a wrong characterset in the keyview settings. This can be fixed by adding the following notes.ini entries:

FT_BINARY_FILTER_OFF=0

OS400_KEYVIEW_CSID=0052

PLATFORM_CSID=052


Where 0052 stands for
ISO 1252 West European Latin.
For more information see
this page.

After changing the ini-settings, restart the server and completely remove the FT-index and then re-create it. Attachments will be searchable again.
