Please log in for more thread options Hi Jeff,
thanks! So I suppose the Standard Outlook IFilter isn't configurable?
Because basically we would be rewriting the Filter just to include a few more
Attributes to the index.
And if I remember right, it is not recommended to write IFilter using the
.netFX, instead we should use unmanaged components?
Or does anyone know of a third-party IFilter that IS configurable?
Regards,
Alex
