I have written an IFilter dll that returns text from my application's file format. I registered it on my local system, and Windows Search correctly returns results with it. I registered it on my SharePoint 2007 server, rebooted, and it doesn't seem to find anything inside the file. Documentation says that all I should have to do is to...

I have a problem whereby the Adobe PDF iFilter doesn't work consistently for us. As such, we like to use the one from Foxit. The problem is, if we install the Foxit iFilter and then later the client decides to reinstall Adobe Reader it may overwrite the Foxit iFilter. We can use tools such as IFilter Explorer to view this but I'd like...
Hi, We are using Recostar.tififilter.ifilter to extract text from tif files. Errors occur for some tif files when we used multiple files for conversion. For each file,a separate process for tif ifilter is executed, of which some fail at random. Has anybody faced a similar issue? Any suggestions would be very helpful... ...
How do I expose errors that occur inside an IFilter to the user? The IFilter can be loaded by a variety of Microsoft products, server products like SharePoint included. It will be separated into modules one of which is an NT service for handling indexing huge files, connection will be performed via RPC. So just anything can go wrong - p...

I'm implementing an IFilter for indexing image formats. One problem is photos - many users have tons of photos, photos are huge and loading and searching for text on them is time consuming. Yes, sometimes people use cameras instead of scanners for digitizing documents, but the potential problems IMO far outweight the possibility of enco...
I've developed an IFilter - a library that is to be deployed into Windows\System32. One possible strategy for reporting errors occuring inside it is writing them to a log file. Where should I put that log file so that I don't have problems with permissions and this solution is Vista/Win2k8 acceptable? ...
I've implemented my own Microsoft Search IFilter. I need two versions of it - 32-bit and 64-bit for deploying them on corresponding systems. In case of IFilters for any file extension I can only register one IFilter class id. Which means I can only use one version on any system. So having two class ids seems useless - it only makes the ...
I've implemented an IFilter as a native VC++ ATL in-proc COM server. Windows Search wouldn't use it - it creates an instance of my IFilter and then executes a bunch of QueryInterface() calls, specifically: IMarshal IStdMarshalInfo something with {4C1E39E1-E3E3-4296-AA86-EC938D896E92} interface id and a couple of others. Since my IFil...
Anybody know of an IFilter that can index source code files beyond what the "Plain Text" filter can provide, with possibly a custom "Property Set" specific to programming? For example, I have 835MB in 41,000 files and 8,200 folders in my "Code Library" folder. I would like to perform searches such as "select distinct attributes on prop...
I am using VBA (in Access 2003) and I'd like to use the IFilter mechanism to extract the textual contents of files. I found some some nice C++ sample code which makes it look relatively easy, but at the moment I can't even get the DLL call to LoadIFilter to work: Declare Function LoadIFilter Lib "query.dll" (ByVal pwcsPath As String, _ ...
