- Make sure that ".mmap" file type is included
Office SharePoint Server 2007:

Extensions\12.0\Search\Applications\<WSS Server Name>\Gather\Search\Extensions\ExtensionList"

- Add ".mmap" extension to the list of indexable file types

Windows Desktop Search:
When integrated with Windows Desktop Search MindManager IFilter uses temporary directory to process MindManager files. By default it uses system temporary directory. For Window Desktop Search versions 3.x and higher MindManager IFilter must be set to work with user specified temporary directory. To change temporary directory setting:
- Stop Windows Search service.
- Open registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IFilterShop\MindManagerFilter"
- Add new String value named "TempPath" and enter the full path to the new temporary directory. If this value is missing, empty or the path is not pointing to a valid directory, system temporary directory will be used. Please make sure that "Users" or "Authenticated Users" Group has "Full Control" permissions to the custom temporary directory.
- Start Windows Search service.
When using custom temporary directory, we recommend that you set it as "not indexable" in all your indexing products. Otherwise temporary files may be indexed. This will pollute the index and also can prevent temporary files from proper removal by MindManager IFilter.
Vista Search, Windows 7 Search:
Configure custom temporary directory as described in "Additional Setup Steps" for Windows Desktop Search section above.

If you ever have to uninstall MindManager IFilter application you can easily do it using any of the following methods:
- Through "Add/Remove Program". Open Control Panel ->Add/Remove Program. Select "IFilterShop MindManager IFilter" in currently installed list. Press "Remove" button.
