IUrlAccessor Provides methods for processing an individual item in a content source whose URL is provided by the gatherer to the filter host. |
IUrlAccessor2 Extends functionality of the IUrlAccessor interface. |
IUrlAccessor3 Extends the functionality of the IUrlAccessor2 interface with the IUrlAccessor3::GetImpersonationSidBlobs method to identify user security identifiers (SIDs) for a specified URL. |
IUrlAccessor4 Extends the functionality of the IUrlAccessor3 interface with the IUrlAccessor4::ShouldIndexItemContent method that identifies whether the content of the item should be indexed. |
IWordBreaker Parses text and identifies individual words and phrases. This interface is a language-specific language resource component. It is used in background processes and must be optimized for both throughput and minimal use of resources. |
IWordFormSink Handles the list of alternative word forms that stemmers generate during query time. |
AUTHENTICATION_INFO Describes security authentication information for content access. |
FILTERED_DATA_SOURCES Specifies parameters for a Shell data source for which a filter is loaded. |
HITRANGE Identifies the range of matching data when query search conditions match indexed data. |
INCREMENTAL_ACCESS_INFO Contains access information used by an incremental crawl, such as the last access date and modification time. |
ITEM_INFO Contains information passed to the IUrlAccessor object about the current item; for example, the application name and catalog name. |
ITEMPROP Stores information about properties in the Windows Property System, and is used by the IItemPropertyBag interface. |

SEARCH_ITEM_CHANGE Specifies the changes to an indexed item. |
SEARCH_ITEM_INDEXING_STATUS Describes the status of a document to be indexed. |
SEARCH_ITEM_PERSISTENT_CHANGE Contains information about the kind of change that has occurred in an item to be indexed. This structure is used with the ISearchPersistentItemsChangedSink::OnItemsChanged method to pass information to the indexer about what has changed. |
TEXT_SOURCE Contains information about text that the word breaker will process. |
TIMEOUT_INFO Stores time-out values for connections and data. |
