Frequently Asked Questions
-
How are IFilters licensed?
All our IFilters are licensed per machine. You would need a separate license for each computer you are planning to install an IFilter on.

What is the difference between IFilter Server and Desktop Editions?
IFilter Desktop Edition makes it possible for end users to search documents on their desktops. It can only be installed on Windows desktop operating systems and seamlessly integrates with Windows Search service. Server Edition of IFilter is a server-side solution designed for businesses of all sizes. It integrates with SharePoint Server, SQL Server, and all other products based on Microsoft Search technology. IFilter Server Edition also includes all the functionality of the Desktop Edition.

What license do I need for SharePoint Portal Server? Do we need to purchase a license for each client?
You will need one Server Edition license per SharePoint Application server.
-
Are your IFilter products compatible with Windows Search service?
All our IFilters can be configured to work with Windows Search. Please refer to an IFilter README file for the Windows Search specific installation steps.

Troubleshooting
Normally, our IFilters install and work transparently without any need for further configuration. If you are experiencing difficulties, the first troubleshooting step we usually suggest is to test the IFilter using our IFilterView tool. The IFilterView.exe application loads an IFilter interface implementation for a specified document and prints the output produced by the IFilter dll. You need to run IFilterView.exe on the same computer where you have IFilter installed.
