Does anybody know when IFilter (Vista Built-In Search) is support is going
to be available?
Are there any plans to support document previews built into explorer on
Vista?
I have OpenOffice 2.3 and it still does not support any of the mentioned
features.
Below is the original message that grabbed my attention:

Hello folks,
I don't know if we can do something about it but in this article:
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2063958,00.asp
this paragraph:
"
Vista's indexing service depends on the same IFilters for parsing
different file types as do Microsoft's other indexing engines, such as
the engines for Office SharePoint Server and for the Windows Desktop
Search add-on for XP.
We found and installed an IFilter for adding indexing support for
OpenOffice.org documents (from here
<http://www.ifiltershop.com/staroffice-openoffice-ifilter.html>), but
our Vista test machine still would not recognize these files, even after
we rebuilt our index. We hope to see this wrinkle ironed out soon, as
extensibility is key to the usefulness of Vista's new search capabilities"
I know that there is an ongoing work for the integration of OOo in Vista
but just wanted to let people know about this in case of problem.
Thanks for the hint, Charles. IIRC this is one of the things we are
hoping to get fixed for OOo2.2.
Ciao,
Mathias

Please don't reply to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
I use it for the OOo lists and only rarely read other mails sent to it.
