The Windows operating system comes pre-configured with several standard iFilters (indexing filters). These iFilters offer fast full-text searching on Microsoft Office files, text documents, HTML files, and others.

To get the full power and capability of Document Locator, install any or all of the additional iFilters listed below. These iFilters allow Document Locator to index and full-text search image files, CAD files, PDF files, and more. Some of the filters are free downloads. Others are offered from third-party developers and require either registration or licensing. Each link below takes you to the download site where installation instructions are included.

Corel WordPerfect   The IFilter is a filter used by the Microsoft Index Server, which is a content-indexing program. The Microsoft Index Server indexes the documents on a server based on the keywords they contain. These indices are used to return your search queries. When you search for a particular string or phrase, the Index Server returns all the documents that contain the string or phrase. WordPerfect iFilter lets you publish your WordPerfect documents on the Internet or intranet. You can search these documents the same way you search an HTML document, without having to convert your WordPerfect documents to HTML.
