Controlling What Files to Index
When the indexing process is running, the Gatherer process will open the files found in the content sources. But exactly what file types will it open? This is controlled by a list of file types that you can manage by the link File types on the Configure Search Settings page. The information in this list shows two things:
- What file types the Gatherer will try to open.
- If there is any icon defined in SharePoint for this file type.
If you are missing one file type, you can add it now by clicking New File Type. But this will not be enough; the Gatherer also needs the specific IFilter for this file type. You can install these IFilters from third Parties, or Microsoft IFilter Pack.
