[TYPO3-dam] where services like cc_txtextexec store the extracted data (was Re: can dam frontend search content of indexed files)

[Ivano Luberti]

Hi Stefan, thanks for your response.
I have looked into the table and I can see the fileds are a superset of
the ones available in the DAM backend interface.
Now the questio changes: where services like cc_txtextexec put the data
extracted?

What I mean is: I have installed cc_txtextexec and looking in the
Services Info it looks correctly working. So I suppose that when I index
files they should run and gather informations from the files.
The pdftotext command line tool used by the extension convert a pdf to a
text file. Now what I don't know is:

- what kind of information the extension takes into consideration from
the text file produced

- where the extracted information are stored (I was guessing in file
metadata and hence in tx_dam table) but they seem unchanged after the
indexing.
