Document Management: Full Text Search - Supported Document Formats

The FileHold search engine can automatically recognize, index and search the contents of documents in the following formats.

While extensions are provided for some file formats below, FileHold search does not rely on extensions to detect file formats. E.g., a Microsoft Excel document named ‘expenses.mp3’ would still be identified as Excel document.
