Indexing Document library which contains .RTF files

Hi All,

I've just craeted a document library objects in my SharePoint site and then i imported several hundreds .RTF files into it, how and when can i perform search and compare of this files against each other ?

Does MOSS 2007 SP2 Enterprise supports indexing .rtf files ?

Thanks,

JJ

ok, I've added the rtf extension to the following location:

Shared Services Administration: SharedServices1 > Search Administration > File types | Manage File Types

hopefully that is enough without having to restart anything (service nor the WFE server itself)

and yet still failed ? i cannot perform search for any keyword inside this .rtf file ?

rtf files have always been an issue for Sharepoint. I really can't think of another solution besides the one I have given. If anything comes to mind I will let you know.

ah... thanks man, because i'm frustrated after I restart the server and then I follow your suggestion above to register the extension both in the registry and SSP1 still no joy (>_<).

From the Microsoft site and googling around I've found this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291676/en-us but it is said for Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001 so I'm hesitant to install it on my Server 2008 with MOSS 2007 SP2

ok, so if I'm install this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=60C92A37-719C-4077-B5C6-CAC34F4227CC&displaylang=en

would that give me the feature to index whatever inside the following file extension: This Filter Pack includes IFilters for the following formats: .docx, .docm, .pptx, .pptm, .xlsx, .xlsm, .xlsb, .zip, .one, .vdx, .vsd, .vss, .vst, .vdx, .vsx, and .vtx

it dosn't say anything about the SharePoint 2007 or 2010 since this download will install and register IFilters with the Windows Indexing Service.
