Can someone explain the relationship between an IFilter and Property Handler?  I wrote an IFilter that exposes both content and properties.  Am I correct in assuming that I also need a separate property handler if I want Explorer to list properties without having to do a search or should the IFilter deliver those properties, as well?
 
Do I expose the same properties from a property handler that I do from an IFilter?  (Or, perhaps a subset...)  Is there a way for the IFilter to make use of the property handler?
 
I'm not clear on this relationship.
 
Thanks.
