Search in attachments

When searching for specific words or phrases, you can include attached PDFs as well as several other file types in the

search. Windows users can search Microsoft Office documents (such as .doc, .xls, and .ppt), AutoCAD drawing file

formats (.dwg and .dwf), HTML files, and Rich Text Format (.rtf) files. Mac OS users can search Microsoft Word (.doc),

HTML, and .rtf files. Search results from attachments appear in the Results list beneath the attachment filename and

icon. Attachments in other formats are ignored by the search engine.

Note: To enable Microsoft and AutoCAD file searches, the IFilters appropriate to the file types must be installed. IFilters

are typically installed with their applications, but can also be downloaded from product websites.
