Display iFilter Plugins With SearchFilterView

The Windows operating system, or more precisely the Windows Indexing Service and Windows Desktop Search, use so called iFilters to not only index the names of files on storage devices but also their contents. Several iFilters come preinstalled with the operating system. Windows 7 for instance supports mime, html, document, plain text and binary handlers by default with the option to install additional iFilters to make the contents of other file types such as Adobe PDF, email or hlp searchable.
SearchFilterView is a new Nirsoft application that can be used to list the installed iFilter plugins of an operating system. The portable software program will display the installed iFilter plugins automatically after startup.
