Hello FTSearch team,

I am searching a large collection of scientific paper PDFs.

I want to sort the found papers by publication year in FTSearch (file creation date etc is irrelevant).
OK, so FTSearch doesn't know any of the document's bibliographic information - although it really ought to.
Let's say I create a custom set of xattrs for each file, with whatever info I need.

Will I be able to search and sort in FTSearch based on these custom xattr names / values?


Thanks.
