Starting from December 14, the standard version of SearchInform Desktop will cost just $29.95. The modifications in the program have been mostly concerned with enhancing the functionality and expanding the list of supported file formats. More File Formats The list of new file formats now available for indexing and search includes WRI, MHT, SHTML, LEX, ASC and several specialized "programming" formats (Basic, Pascal, etc.). At present the number of file types supported by SearchInform counts over 50 items (including PDF, RTF, MP3 and AVI tags, 6 archive formats and electronic messages TheBat!, Eudora and Outlook). Search by file attributes is also supported by SearchInform. This facilitates (in some cases) the search process and equips users with additional possibilities. Additional Functionality As regards enhancements in the functionality, starting with version 1.7 SearchInform supports PDF files preview, as well preview of virtually all known programming files in "their own" format. At the numerous requests of users addressed to the 24/7 technical support team, the new release of SearchInform 1.7 sports automatic preview of the first document in the search results list and jumping to the first "highlighted" key word (the first word inclusion) in the current document preview window. One of the major modifications in the program touched the registration process. In SearchInform 1.7 in contrast to the previous versions where registration was an on-line process from beginning to end, we implemented authorization by means of e-mail.
