V5 development progress - Indexing filenames of .EXE, .ZIP and other binaries

[David]

Due to popular request, we added the ability in V5 to index just the filenames from some binary file formats that we do not currently provide plugin support for. This includes .EXE, .ZIP, .WMV, .AVI, and .MPG.

Unlike before, you can now index the filenames for these files (so that a search for "*.exe" could return all executables). You can also specify .desc files for these formats to specify custom meta descriptions, titles, or keywords. You can also specify an icon or image to associate with these files which would appear alongside the search results (eg. a disk icon next to all .zip files for download).

Please add support for TAR, GZ, cab, .RAR formats..

Thanks..

Yes, we can add support for indexing the filenames of those file extensions too.

Just to reiterate and to make it clear - we are only indexing the filename for these binary file formats. The content of these files will not be indexed.
