Nothing impossible, but, when combined with the data transportation problem, it was not deemed important enough for this release.


I see, so I'd need to write a new File protocol handler too. Ouch, it's getting more complicated, but that's life.

So IFilters and Property Handlers do not know the name of the file that they are working on? I had not realised that until now.

Almost correct. The architecture is a bit more complex than that, is anyone interested in a boring yet fascinating description of the Windows Search backend infrastructure?

Sounds good to me!
