We are using MOSS 2007. We have a need to index .exe files but I would prefernot to make this global to all search scopes. Is there a way to do this withougcreating a new top level site and associated SSP?Preferably I would like to create a separate search scope and apply the filetype inclusion to only that scope.
If you define a content type for exe files, you might be able to dothis. Beyond that, I don't think crawl rules can be set per scope.
There is a good book on sharepoint search by wrox that may help you. You couldscan through it before purchasing.
