Additional Setup Steps

Some Microsoft Search products require additional setup steps as described below:

SharePoint Server:

In SharePoint Central Administration go to "General Application Settings" page
In the "Search" section click on "Farm Search Administration"
Click on " Search Service Application" link
On the left side menu select "File Types"
Add mmap extension to the list of Managed File Types
Restart SharePoint Search Host Controller service

Microsoft SQL Server:

Restart SQL Server service
Perform a Full Population

Windows Search:

When integrated with Windows Search, MindManager IFilter uses a temporary directory to process MMAP files. Due to Windows Search security restrictions, IFilters are not able to utilize the default system temporary directory. Therefore, MindManager IFilter must be set to work with a user specified temporary directory. To change the MindManager IFilter temporary directory's settings:

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.
