Connectors to Microsoft
®
Search
ABBYY Recognition Server provides a special connector (IFilter) that enables Microsoft
Office SharePoint
®
Server and Windows
®
Desktop Search to perform full-text searches
in image documents in TIFF, JPEG, PDF, and DjVu formats. Using the IFilter, the Mi-
crosoft search systems can employ ABBYY Recognition Server to capture data from
image files.
Integration with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server
The Microsoft Office SharePoint Server crawler automatically crawls document libraries
and indexes new or recently changed documents on a regular basis. Documents with
image content that cannot be indexed are sent to ABBYY Recognition Server for OCR.
ABBYY Recognition Server recognizes the documents and returns the resulting text to
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server for indexing. Thus, the documents become avail-
able for full-text search.
To install the IFilter for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server:
1. When installing the Server Manager component, select the IFilter Support sub-
feature. A special hidden workflow will be created for processing images from
within SharePoint.
2. Install the IFilter on top of SharePoint Server (Click on the ABBYY Recognition
Server 3.0 IFilter item on the Autorun menu, or run the setup.exe file from the
ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0 IFilter subfolder.)
3. Select the appropriate OCR languages in the IFilter Properties dialog that is
opened after the installation.
