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.
