SUMMARY

When you perform optical character recognition (OCR) on Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) files during indexing, the TIFF Index Filter only recognizes English, European, Cyrillic, and Greek character sets. It does not recognize other complex script languages such as Hebrew, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, or Korean.

MORE INFORMATION

SharePoint Portal Server contains a TIFF Index Filter that performs OCR on TIFF files, and indexes the text in the file.

This feature is not enabled by default. For more information about how to use the TIFF Index Filter, refer to the SharePoint Portal Server Administrator Help file. To access the Administrator Help file, click the Help menu in the SharePoint Portal Server Administrator program.
