Problem: MS Office doc and PDF results not returned for website
(RoboHelp RoboEngine, an Active Server Pages app).

WinXP Pro/IIS 5.1 (with Adobe IFilter 5.0 installed) This is a
development machine and strictly used for testing this app, so I'm open
to any config ideas.

1. Index Services is running
2. In the Indexing Services snap-in for Web\Directories, the "globe"
icon is properly showing on the virtual directories
3. All permissions recommended for the application have been double
checked.
4. The entire C:\ volume as well as the application folders are checked
for "For fast searching, allow, etc."

This same app works fine on my Win2K "live" web server. Permissions and
config appear to be same? Ideas appreciated.

Thanx.

Hi

I have the same problem with PDF and Word documents.

OS: WinXP Pro SP 2
Word: 2003 Prof. SP 2
PDF: IFilter 6.0

A query in the mmc (Query the Catalog - Indexing Service Query Form) returns a
text file, when searched for the word "Watch5". A .vbs search-script returns the
same file as well.

But there is no PDF or Word file returned for any known keyword.

Catalog contains:
13 subfolders
8 PDF files
26 Word files

Catalog, Location, Size, Total Docs, Docs to Index, Deferred for Indexing, Word
Lists, Saved Indexes, Status
ixWatch5, c:\intrapact\index\watch5, 1, 19, 0, 0, 2, 1, Started

Path:c:\intrapact\org\watch5\files\upsystem\document center\readme.txt
Filename: readme.txt
Size:177
Characterization: Dies ist eine einfache Readme-Datei, die aufzeigen soll, dass
es Probleme mit Word-Dokumenten und dem Index-Server gibt. Diese Datei liegt im
Watch5 DocumentCenter Verzeichnis.

Thanx.
Daniel

Hi

I found out there are 3 programs (part of IFilter test suite) distributed with
the Microsoft Platform SDK. The programs are called filtreg.exe, filtdump.exe
and filttst.exe

With filtreg I found out the file offfilt.dll is used for Microsoft Word (and
other office) documents.

The file version and size is as follows: 2003.5.28.0, 120'832 bytes

I produced the following logfile with the filttst program (ifilttst /i <file> /l
/d /v 3). Not shure what the "Return code is 0x80070057" in the log means !

WinXP Pro/IIS 5.1 (with Adobe IFilter 5.0 installed) This is a

This same app works fine on my Win2K "live" web server. Permissions and
