The filters listed below, along with the specified file location, are the default filters recommended by the various software vendors. These recommendations should be evaluated on a system by system basis to ensure that necessary files are not inadvertently excluded.
Note
If the client has indexing enabled but is using Indexing Version 1, then, to filter folders completely, either remove '/*' or add '/**' at the end of the filter.
For example, to filter dir1 under /opt, with Indexing Version 1, add "/opt/dir1/*" as the filter.
After the upgrade to the latest version of indexing, the filter should remain the same.
For new installs, which use the latest version of indexing by default, add "/opt/dir1" or "opt/dir1/**" as the filter.
