Indexing Options / Advanced Options
Perhaps I am not using the 'help' properly with the right syntax, but I can't
find any information on the advanced option for indexing file types. (how does one use help to find this by the way)... What I see are the extensions and a check box and a filter description and radio buttons below. What I want to ensure is that my email is being indexed, so I presume that is the .PST file. If I select this (ie, highlight it), I presume it should be checked. If unchecked I presume it is not indexed no matter what the radio buttons are marked. Correct ? If checked, there are two selections, "Properties only" and "Properties + Content". If I select Properties then the filter description is "file Properties", ,whereas if I select properties+content I get 'Plain Text Filter'. The question is: Is the selectionof the radio button showing whether that is selected (ie, the check mark is checked or not applies to the radio button). or Is the selectionof the radio button changing the Filter description which is only active IF the check mark has been pre-selected? To give an example: Situation #1: .PST unchecked. It doesn't matter how you select the radio button. This file type will not be indexed. Situation #2: .PST checked and 'index properties only' is radio selected. This means that only properties will be indexed. Contents will not be indexed. Similarly .PST checked and 'properties + contents' would mean that the 'plain text filter' is enabled to make this happen. Situation #3 (less likely) is that the check mark is a 'status indicator' for the radio button. When one selects the radio button, the check mark shows whether that option applies or not. Hence Selecting 'properties + contents' and having a result of an unchecked .PST file would show that 'properties + contents' is inactive. One would have then to select 'Properties only' and look at the check mark. If unchecked, THEN the file would not be indexed at all. Last question is how all of hese file types got set in the first place. |

Indexing Options / Advanced Options
The key thing to realize here is that indexing of Outlook data like .PST
files is controlled by what data files are loaded into Outlook. It is not in any way controlled by the file types dialog. You should see on the first page of the Indexing Options an entry called "Microsoft Office Outlook", and then if you hit modify you can expand this node and select which stores are indexed. All PST stores should be indexed by default {if not there may be some kind of configuration issue}. Dave Wood "Hike_Mike" wrote in message ...
