JPEG IFilter

JPEG IFilter is a content indexing filter for JPEG (JFIF) image files. The IFilter is compatible with all indexing services based on the Microsoft Search technology: Microsoft Indexing Service, Windows Desktop Search and Microsoft SharePoint Portal. JPEG IFilter extends the services capabilities to index the JPEG files (extensions JPG, JPEG, JPE, JFIF) and to perform a content search for them.

There are several standards that determine methods to store text information in the image files: EXIF, IPTC/NAA, XMP. Our content filter is EXIF standard compliant. Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) is a Japan Electronic Industry Development Association (JEIDA) standard. It is supported by the most of digital cameras manufactures and it is supported by Windows XP. The JPEG files summary properties you can edit in Windows Explorer are stored in the EXIF format.
