Happy New Year all :)
I want to Index the content of email attachments like Word docs and Excel spreadsheets.
I understand that for this process I should store the content in a varbinary field, the file type in a varchar field and then set up a full text index (as perhttp://arcanecode.com/2009/05/28/full-text-searching-a-filestream-varbinary-max-column/_)
However I don't want the attachments stored in the database in this fashion - they will be stored in a MIME type field seperately - I just want their content indexed, so I can search on it.
Is there any way I can use an api in C# code to perform the same funtion in memory?
This will save me having to save unnecessary data in the database - I would just be saving the indexed data.
