sql server full text search: Salutations All,

I've searched far and wide, and am unable to find an IFilter
implementation for Office 2007 documents. Does anyone know if one is
forthcoming from Microsoft, if one is already out there and I'm just
missing it, or if I need to just bite the bullet and write my own?

Any assistance anyone can give in this regard is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Bryan Porter

Hi Bryan

You have 2 options (sort of)

Install Office 2007 on your server and then issue an sp_fulltext_service
'load_os_resource', 1 to load the iFilters

The second option isn't available yet, but there will be an ifilter pack
made available for Office 2007.
