Whirlpool Search
What file formats does the app support?
Whirlpool supports searching through a wide variety of formats. This includes PDFs, all standard Office documents, plain text (TXT) files, and images. When you add images, the app extracts and indexes only the text found inside them.
Why can't the app find text inside my scanned document or image?
If your document is a scanned file or an image, it does not contain standard selectable text. To extract text from these files, you must enable the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature. Once OCR is activated, the app will visually scan and recognize the text so it can be searched.
Why is keyword embedding taking so long?
When generating embeddings, the app performs deep semantic indexing across all your keywords to provide highly accurate, context-aware search results. This process can take time depending on the size of your documents. However, you do not need to wait for it to finish! You can perform searches in parallel while the semantic indexing continues running in the background.
