Does the DGN iFilter install with Bentley View? If so, I've got the windows indexing options set to search for file content and my DGN file location set, but am still not finding anything based on the drawings contents.
If not, is it possible to download and install the iFilter without a paid version of Microstation?
Testing iFilter is hard. First check if it is registered properly - https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/search_filter_view.html
That's a great tool. I didn't know about that. I am noticing that .DGN only shows up under query.dll, which I take it means the iFilter is not installed. Should it install with Bentley View? And the fact that it didn't, how can I get it installed?
So where can I get the iFilter from? Should I see it with Bently View?
Try to install Bentley View first. I remember preview handler was available as separate download under Bentley store(iWare) but past changes so fast that can't keep up where it is now in new Bentley site.Links are dead - iWare Apps for Interoperability
I've got Bently View installed but not the Preview handler. Could that be my problem?
