Furthermore, you may want to display a different, larger or smaller, group of those properties to users in Windows Explorer, and allow users to edit only a subset of those properties displayed. Your file type can support any custom properties you define, as well as a set of system-defined properties.
Before you create a custom property, please review System Properties to see if the property you want to support is already defined by a system property. Always be sure you support the most important system-defined properties. For each of these properties, you need to determine what attributes it should have and then describe them formally in Property Description XML files.
Attributes include the property's data type, label, help string and more. For indexable properties, you should pay particular attention to the following property attributes found in the searchInfo XML element of the Property Description file. For the columnIndexType attribute, the benefit of faster queries needs to be weighed against the greater indexing time and space costs that the secondary indices can incur.
However, this cost is only paid for items that have a non- null value, so for most properties can have this attribute set to "OnDisk". Generally speaking, full-text search is supported by components called filters ; however, for text-based file types with uncomplicated file formats, property handlers may be able to provide this functionality with less development effort. You should review the Full-Text Contents section for a comparison of filter and property handler functionality to help you decide what is best for your file type.
Of particular importance is the fact that filters can handle multiple language code identifiers LCIDs per file while property handlers cannot. Because property handlers cannot chunk content the way filters can, large files even if they are uncomplicated file formats must be completely loaded into memory.
In Windows 7 and later, there is new behavior when registering a property handler, IFilter , or new extension.
In Windows 7 it is recommended that an IFilter is installed in conjunction with its corresponding property handlers, and that the IFilter is registered before the property handler. The registration of the property handler initiates immediate re-indexing of previously indexed files without first requiring a reboot, and takes advantage of any previously registered IFilter s for the purpose of content indexing.
If only an IFilter is installed, without a corresponding property handler, then automatic reindexing occurs either after a restart of the indexing service, or a reboot of the system. Prior to Windows Vista, filters provided support for parsing and enumerating file content and properties. With the introduction of the property system, property handlers handle file properties while filters handle file content.
For Windows Vista, you need develop only a partial implementation of the IFilter interface in coordination with a property handler, as described in Best Practices for Creating Filter Handlers in Windows Search.
While the property system is also included with the Windows Search installation for Windows XP, third-party and legacy applications may require that filters handle both content and properties. Therefore, if you are developing on the Windows XP platform, you should provide a full filter implementation as well as a property handler for your file type or custom property.
