File system and CMS crawls can process archive files.

Archive expansion is disabled by default. To enable the feature, you must check Expand archives for the data source in CAS Console.

Archive expansion means that an Endeca record is created for each archived entry and its properties are populated. Text is extracted if the document conversion option is enabled. Note that native file properties are not gathered for archived entries even if that option is enabled for file system crawls. However, file and CMS permissions of the archive file are propagated to the archive entries.
