Fulltext Indexing - Which type of file extension

By default SQL Server 2000 supports .doc, .xls, .ppt, .txt, and .htm files.
For other types of documentes you need to have those filters installed. For
example, you need to obtain a filter from Adobe for .pdf files.

You might want to post this question in .fulltext newsgroup, if you need
more information.
