Automatically Detected Fields

Fields (metadata) that dtSearch automatically detects and indexes in documents

The dtSearch Engine automatically detects fields in the following file formats:

File Format	Fields
Email files (Outlook Express, Eudora, MBOX, EML)	Email files (Outlook Express, Eudora, MBOX, EML)
Outlook items and .MSG files	Sender, Recipient, Subject, contact fields (StreetAddress, CompanyName, etc.)
Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint	Document summary information fields
HTML	META tags
XML	All fields
DBF	All fields
CSV	All fields (CSV, or comma-separated values, files must have a .csv extension, a list of field names in the first line, and must use tab, comma, or semicolon delimiters)
PDF files	Document Properties
WordPerfect	Document summary information fields
MP3	All metadata fields
ASF, WMA, WMV	All metadata fields
JPG, TIF	XMP (Vista), EXIF and IPTC properties

To prevent fields from being indexed in documents, set the dtsoFfSkipDocumentProperties flag in Options.FieldFlags. This setting does not affect CSV, XML, or DBF files.

The NTFS file system supports file properties for other formats. Set the dtsoFfShowNtfsProperties flag in Options.FieldFlags to have the dtSearch Engine check for and index these properties, where present.
