Default Property Names for a Web Catalog
Note
Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use Windows Search for client side search and Microsoft Search Server Express for server side search.
This list of properties includes all properties in the property store exposed by system IFilter implementations. Additional properties can be indexed by using custom property features, if available, documented in each IFilter implementation or by installing additional IFilter implementations that expose additional properties.
