3.7 Metadata in Windows Search<br />
Create a property description file. Windows Search accesses the Windows property<br />
system which holds descriptions of predefined and custom metadata properties. In order<br />
to use custom metadata properties with Windows Search you must prepare a property<br />
description file (often called .propdesc) which specifies the names, data types, and<br />
GUIDs of properties, as well as other property attributes. The property descriptions<br />
must match the corresponding property descriptions in the XML configuration file.<br />
Property descriptions must be specified as XML files according to the syntax described<br />
at the following location:<br />
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb773879(VS.85).aspx<br />
Sample property description files are installed with <strong>TET</strong> <strong>PDF</strong> <strong>IFilter</strong>. The following (incomplete)<br />
example demonstrates a few property descriptions:<br />

<br />
Note that the multipleValues="true" attribute is crucial for multivalued properties (see<br />
Section 3.5, »Multivalued Properties«, page 44).<br />
Predefined properties. A property description file predefined_properties.propdesc for all<br />
predefined properties (see Appendix A, »Predefined Metadata Properties«) is installed<br />
with <strong>TET</strong> <strong>PDF</strong> <strong>IFilter</strong>. Although the property definitions are built into <strong>TET</strong> <strong>PDF</strong> <strong>IFilter</strong>,<br />
you must enable the desired property set collections in the XML configuration file (see<br />
Section 3.3, »Predefined Metadata Properties«, page 41), and register the property descriptions<br />
(see »Register metadata properties in Windows«, page 47) before you can use<br />
them in queries.<br />
XML configuration for Windows Search. Table 3.3 lists requirements and recommendations<br />
related to the XML configuration for <strong>TET</strong> <strong>PDF</strong> <strong>IFilter</strong> when working with Windows<br />
Search.<br />
Register metadata properties in Windows. In order to use property queries in Windows<br />
Search the corresponding property descriptions must be registered in the Windows<br />
property system. You can register property descriptions with the command-line<br />
program registerpropdesc.exe which is installed with <strong>TET</strong> <strong>PDF</strong> <strong>IFilter</strong>. Note that this tool<br />
works only if Windows Search is installed on the system. Supply the file name of a property<br />
description file to this tool to register it with the Windows property system (make<br />
sure to enclose the path with double quotes if it contains space characters):<br />
