FAQPage Schema
How do I search for files by content type and metadata attributes?▼

To search for files by content type and metadata, you use a content-type aware file system search powered by CEL expression language to filter attributes like file size, type, or page count.

How do I query file metadata to find PDFs larger than 10 pages?▼

To query file metadata for large PDFs, use a CEL expression like 'is_pdf && page_count > 10' to filter files by content type and page count attributes within your target directory.

Can I read specific lines from text files or fetch attributes for individual files?▼

Yes, you can fetch attributes for individual files or read specific lines from text files using the file inspection capabilities provided by the content-type aware search system.

Do I need an MCP server and client to run content-type aware file searches?▼

Yes, performing content-type aware file searches requires a running file-search-on MCP server and a registered MCP client to process CEL expression queries and return file metadata results.

What is CEL expression language used for in file search?▼

CEL expression language is used in file search to perform attribute filtering, metadata queries, and aggregation, allowing you to find files by size, type, or content attributes.

What are the limitations of using CEL expressions for file metadata filtering?▼

File metadata filtering with CEL expressions depends on a running MCP server and registered client, meaning search capabilities are constrained by the server's available file attributes and content type support.
