Why does the Indexing Service call IFilter using the Local System security context? Wouldn't it make more sense to try and call third part code with the minimal security level needed to get the job done (I realize that this might be hard to determine - perhaps implementers of IFilter could be called with no privileges and be spoon fed the contents of a file unless they requested a more privileged security context).

probably to much work to do - but you could write a sample to show us how its done. you could, for instance, produce a filter for vb 6.0 .bas/.cls files!

(yes i know you just need to put a Persistant handler key in the registry but thats to easy!)

cheers

Jonathan -- The service itself runs with those permissions; I imagine it would be complex to navigate making it callable in variable contexts (though I think that would be worthwhile!).

bg -- I would be a lot more likely to do something with some of the future classes, the more linguistic ones. Stay tuned. :-)

Lest people think I am making up the potential usefulness here about IFilter implementations:

If I wasn't watching her blog, could you really claim I was filtering the list of blogs I read?

A lot of the MSDN links on this subject seem dead now - could someone write a little update on this subject now?

Lots of IFilter updates in various other blogs on the server -- for SharePoint, for SQL Server, for others, especially Filter Central. There are like over 2,600 in Google, for example....

I can't find a whole lot int he way of examples for developing an iFilter... Even the SDK references samples that don't seem to exist anymore.

I'm looking specifically for how to pass an embedded document on to it's appropriate iFilter.

Can you point me to some sample code? I suspect BindIFilterToStream will be involved, but I can't figure out exactly how...

Thanks.

I am able to read properties of *.docx file using ifilter but it does not read any property of *.doc (Microsoft Word 2003). What should be changed in ifilter code to read property of *.doc files as well.

Thanks
