Hello

I would like to know if there are any official information regarding the windows search service limitations. (i am currenlty under windows 7)

I would like to integrate the search part in a .net application to work with iFilters, but couldn't get some of the results so my questions are:

- is there any (hardcoded) limitation on what part (size) is indexed in a document ?

- if yes, is this limitation applied for any type of documents ?

- Is there any known issues regarding using the windows search component in windows 7 onwards and the microsoft office 2010 filter packs ?

Hope to get some answers

Cordially

Hi Cordially,

Please check whether the following thread could help:

In addition, for development issue, you can ask it in MSDN forum for more help.
