I have added MSG files to Keyoti SearchUnit and after in import the files show as indexed but the contents of the MSG do not appear to be indexed. Meaning that no MSG files appear when I try to filter the files. None of the content of the MSG files are searchable. What I'm I doing wrong? Other files type are working fine.
Don't know if this helps but when looking at the column description in the Index Management Tool the description for the MSGs only have the name of the file while the other files types appear to show the content of the file

Hi, SearchUnit uses a Windows IFilter to read MSG files. This relies on the IFilter to be registered properly for 32bit and 64bit applications. If it is not installed for 32bit then it's not going to work. .NET applications build by default for AnyCPU but 'prefer 32 bit'. So it looks like because SearchUnit was built like that that and you don't have an IFilter for 32 bit on your machine. We will change to build for AnyCPU (no prefer x86) from now on, would you like a new MSI (or just the DLLs)? Thanks Jim -your feedback is helpful to other users, thank you!

I think the DLLs would be fine.

I will prepare it on Thursday, but in case you didn't already, you will need to rebuild the solution with the new DLLs as references, you can't just copy them over the old ones. -your feedback is helpful to other users, thank you!

I installed the new MSI and re-imported the source but the contents of the MSGs still don’t appear to be indexed. When I search for Alberta I get no results.

Could you try this project please https://www.dropbox.com/...xKSGHZGstcB8IxDMj_qpfjA
It's not particularly user friendly, but when you run it you will see a textbox with the file path, set that to your test MSG please. Then click the button next to it to read the file. It should show a message box with the file content, but it may show an exception instead. If it shows an exception then it means an MSG IFilter isn't installed on your system. Can you try going to the build option in project properties and change the architecture to x86 and then x64 and see if it makes a difference please? -your feedback is helpful to other users, thank you!

Ok. Thanks. I'll give this a try. If I don't have MSG IFilter installed. How do I installed it? Is it just a matter of installing outlook?

I tried your project. The message box came up fine when I pointed it to the file (EDD0000045137.MSG, this is the test file I believe I sent to you as well.) But the message box was blank, no text. I tried changing the architecture to x86 and then x64. That did not make a difference.

Curious. If you're game you could install this one for example https://www.microsoft.co...d/details.aspx?id=17062
Although not getting an error typically means that there is an ifilter handling the request. -your feedback is helpful to other users, thank you!

Know i'm getting text but I don't see the body in the email i'm testing with.
I should see the text 'Attached is a draft letter to Alberta Darling. Let me know your thoughts. (Not those thoughts, Tim).'
This is the text I get:
PM.NoteDraft LetterJ....

Thanks, I took out the contents because of the email addresses etc, but I noticed that the text I am getting is the same right up until the content you are interested in ------_=_NextPart_001_01C314DA.19573EC0-- #####################Hintz, ################# LetteAttached is a draft letter to Alberta Darling. Let me know your thoughts. (Not those thoughts, Tim). (I ##'d out names) If you right click -> Properties on C:\Windows\System32\offfilt.dll what version do you see? Mine is 2008.0.18362.1 Did you install the x64 IFilter pack or x86? -your feedback is helpful to other users, thank you!

In addition, I wonder if this will help https://knowledge.autode...il-format-in-Vault.html
It mentions Windows Search, and although SearchUnit doesn't use Windows Search or it's indexer, I wonder if step 3 is a way to get to the IFilter options. See attached image Jim attached the following image(s):  Annotation 2020-01-16 103816.png (69kb) downloaded 20 time(s).-your feedback is helpful to other users, thank you!

The version of offfitl.dll is 2008.0.9600.17415
I installed the x64 IFilter pack
the windows OS i'm using is Windows Server 2012 R2
I looked at the indexing options and msg file type is there, selected, and Index Properites and File Contents is selected
I have a second computer, same OS, I have tried it there as well, same problem.

According to http://www.ifiltershop.c...s/msgfilter/readme.html
"MSG IFilter requires Extended MAPI which is provided with MAPI-based applications such as Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client or Microsoft Outlook (ver. 98 or later). On Windows x64 platform MSG IFilter requires 64-bit edition of Microsoft Outlook 2010." I'm unsure if they mean that the MAPI Client won't suffice for x64, but if it is OK you can get it here https://www.microsoft.co...ad/details.aspx?id=42040-your feedback is helpful to other users, thank you!

I installed Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects 1.2.1 and nothing changed. I also try your code on my windows 10 computer. Same result, there is text in the message box but no body text.
