Files

You can enable searching of Files by clicking the "Files" button on the "Where to Search" ribbon.  When enabled, the button will be highlighted orange.  Identity Finder will search for files (except compressed files) in the File Location you specify.

Identity Finder can read over 200 file types while preserving format and structure.  If there is a file type that you must search while preserving format and structure and it is not currently supported natively, you may be able to install an additional IFilter.  Additionally, Identity Finder can extract readable text from any type of file.  To speed your searching, you can enable searching only common file types or searching only filterable file types.
