I know I haven't asked this recently, but does Microsoft have any plans to produce an iFilter for RDLs or RDLCs? It would be greatly appreciated!Anonymous

Hi Deb, I tried emailing you via this blog's contact link, but I guess you don't check it that often :-P Do you have any examples of how to get an IFilter to return a multi-value/multivalue from IFilter::GetValue? I tried wrapping the COM values in a SAFEARRAY, but Vista's indexing service doesn't recognize it at all. I'm trying to test on Sharepoint 2010, but still struggling w/ the install for that so haven't been able to yet :-P I have put in enough instrumentation to determine that indexing service only calls ::GetValue once instead of calling it multiple times until it finds no more values, so the only other thing it can return is a SAFEARRAY. Also, are there limitations on multivalue data types? I.e., can it be a multivalue of ints, dates, etc. instead of only strings? I've found references that multivalues can be strings, but nothing else...Anonymous

I've been struggling to solve a visio ifilter (Microsoft's ifilter) problem for quite some time ... Q1: Is there a forum to discuss iFilter issues? For example, I have a question about "Chunk Break Type" as displayed in the filtdump.exe output. my basic problem is ... Windows Desktop Search 4.0 (WDS) is only recognizing some strings appearing in my 2007 vsd file. But when I test the ifilter (VISFILT.DLL 14.0.4750.1000) I see all the strings appearing in the filtdump output! Upon examination of the filtdump output the only obvious difference between the good and missing strings in the filtdump output is the "Chunk Break Type". The missing strings have a "Chunk break type: END OF WORD" while the 'good' strings have 'NO BREAK". I'm wondering if WDS's parser is picky about the LF and NULLS in the filter output. Or .... am I barking up the wrong tree?Anonymous

What about the Ifilters today ? It seems that there is no more development for that... Mainly tiff and jpg iFilters. Microsoft document imaging has a very good iFilter for tiff files. Without ocr of this filetypes, the files where indexed very good. What is there now available on the today's market ?
