Microsoft Windows Desktop Search indexes more than 200 of the most common file types, all of which are listed below.
However, Windows Desktop Search cannot index every type of file. To enable Windows Desktop Search to search more file types, you can use an IFilter, which is a component of the indexing service included with Microsoft Windows 2000 and later. If a file type you want to search for is not listed, you may be able to download an IFilter that allows Windows Desktop Search to index that file type. For more information, visit the Desktop Search iFilters website, or the iFilter.org website.
