Asked By: Krista Porter Date: Jan 09, 2006 Category: Sharepoint Views: 191

Anyone know why our SharePoint Portal Server does not return any search results for .pps files even if we enter the file name as the query? The extension is in the list of extensions to index.

You may need to make sure that you re-run the content index before being able to search. It maybe worth resetting the content index (if you are in advanced admin mode) and the re-crawling it. As long as you have added the .pps extension in it should be OK. Hope this helps.

I reset the content indices and ran Full indexing and now the .pps files are showing in search results.

You didn’t add pps to the noise words file did you?

Answer #5 Answered By: Allison Stewart Answered On: Jan 09, 2006

No. We had to slick, rebuild, reinstall SPPS 2003, and then restore our server and portal from backups. The extension was not in the list of extensions to include, so I added it. Resetting the content index and doing a FULL crawl got it working.
