IFilters released for Office 2007 formats
So how many of you thought that MOSS2007 was already indexing your Office 2007 documents correctly? Microsoft have just (17 Dec 2007) released an updated Microsoft Filter Pack which provides additional IFilters specifically for the Microsoft Office 2007 format documents: .docx, .docm, .pptx, .pptm, .xlsx, .xlsm, .xlsb, .zip, .one, .vdx, .vsd, .vss, .vst, .vdx, .vsx, and .vtx.
Details of how to register the new filter for MOSS 2007 and Search Server 2008 are here.
It is still worth pointing out that there is still no TIFF support! So if this is something you need to have, and you will need to understand the impact this can have on your crawling, you should look at the following work around
