I have implemented full text searching over files stored in a varbinary(max)
field and this works great
The only issue i am now having is that users creating office documents
created on a Windows Mobile device such as word docs are not being searched.
The extension is .doc but the files look cut down in size.
Does anyone know of a filter or filter update that will also search office
type files created on a Windows Mobile device?
Thanks,
Jeff
The iFilters are specific for document type. The PocketWord application does
not save it in a format that the Office iFilter can understand. You would be
better off to convert them to Word.

|||Hi Hilary,
Thanks for your answer.
What I find strange is that the device saves the document with the extension
..doc, but is not a true word document format. So when I check the file
extension with the supported SQL iFilter extensions I get a match and save it
in the db for indexing and searching.
How would I go about programaticaly converting the uploaded docs from the
mobile devices to the full Office document standard supported by the Office
iFilter?
Thanks for your help,
Jeff
