Hi Group,

I'm using WIndows Desktop Search to index a larg number of files. The
index file has grown and it became slow. So I thought to limit file
extentions that it indexes. WDS allows me to specify file extensions
that I do not want to index, but I can't tell it what file extensions I
want to index. I only need MS Office and PDF files to be indexed and
it's very tedious job to specify all the extensions that I don't need.

Is there any way that I can specify only extensions that I want?

Regards,
Masoud
