Office iFilter and Embedded Documents

Question

Hello,

Does office iFilter (offfilt.dll) support extracting content from embedded documents i.e. Excel Spreadsheet or PowerPoint in Word? If not, do you know if other iFilters do?

Thanks, Kesha

Ensure you apply the Search Links Flag to the IFilter when initializing it.

IFILTER_INIT iflags = IFILTER_INIT.SEARCH_LINKS;
