Indexing service and com structured storage document
Posted by Vishal on November 8th, 2005


Hi,

I am facing this issue indexing service on Windows XP and above. The
issue is not seen in Win2K family.

I have a document (of type structured storage). I have written an Ifilter
for this document to extract text as well as properties from the structured
storage document.

Upto Win2K all works well. But with WinXP strangely indexing service
filters the document automatically. No call is made on my filter dll except
for the Load call. It seems that indexiong service has already filtered the
document before my filter comes into picture. The load call does arrive on my
filter (this call succeeds without any problem). However no init call is ever
made. The filter dll unloads.

Am I missing something out here.

Thanks,
Vishal
