Office 2007 File Indexing in WSS 3.0
Something that recently came to my attention at a customer, that I thought I would share, is that Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0 does not natively index the new Office 2007 file types.  There are a few routes you could take here to address...
  1. Download and install the Filter Pack (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=946338)
  2. Install Office 2007 on the WSS 3.0 server/s (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944433/en-us)
  3. Leverage Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Search Server 2008, or Search Server 2008 Express.  More information here.  One of these methods would also allow you to have more capabilities surrounding your search, including searching across site collections.

What is your experience?  I would love to hear your thoughts...
