Je voudrais use Windows Search for searching through multiple PDFs in one go, but Je vois that in the Options d'indexation' Advanced Options screen, PDF files don't have a registered IFilter:
Qu'est-ce qu'un IFilter, and where can I get the appropriate one?
Comment recherche inside PDFs avec Windows Recherche?
Re: Comment recherche inside PDFs avec Windows Recherche?
IFilters allow Windows Search to search within file contents.
Here are three popular PDF IFilters†:
- [Foxit PDF IFilter](https://web.archive.org/web/20150614000155/http://www.foxitsoftware.com:80/products/ifilter/) (commercial)
- [TET PDF IFilter](https://www.pdflib.com/products/tet-pdf-ifilter/) (free/commercial)
- Adobe PDF IFilter ([32-bit](https://get.adobe.com/reader/) / [64-bit](https://web.archive.org/web/20161205123149/http://www.adobe.com:80/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5542)) (free)
After installing one, vous devriez be able to search within PDF files in the same way that vous pouvez for other types of files.
