How do I disable an IFilter when searching?

Question

My PC has an IFilter installed for CSV files but I'd rather that the IFilter wasn't used when searching/indexing, can I disable the IFilter for just the .csv extension?

Answer 1

To disable an IFilter based on the extension you can use the command line option:

-config:IgnoreIFilterExt:+=csv

For example:

C:\Program Files\Mythicsoft\FileLocator Pro\FileLocatorPro.exe  -config:IgnoreIFilterExt:+=csv

If in future you'd like to re-enable the IFilter use:

-config:IgnoreIFilterExt:-=csv
