Chaseme 15 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Tried searching the web and here; but couldn't find the answer. Does anyone know what the search syntax for Microsoft Word documents is? I'm asking for the common file extensions like Word 97-2003 (.doc) and Word Document [Word 2007+] (.docx). I had noted the syntax resource:application/msword used to pull up Word documents; but I am only getting this search to hit some of my notes (in EV 6.7.5.5825). Going off on a tangent (to help other people), other file specific syntax, for example, resource:application/pdf , works flawlessly to pull up Portable Document Format (.pdf) files. Image formats like .png, .jpeg (but not .jpg), and .tiff work well too: resource:image/png resource:image/jpeg resource:image/tiff resource:image/* (asterisk standing for wildcard - which will pull up results for all of the above image types) However, .svg (resource:image/svg) does not work; but it is included in the wildcard search (strangely).

Chaseme 15 Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Thanks DTLow. I tried playing around with various MIME types. Somewhat difficult to find the right ones that would cover all the bases. For example, resource:application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet will pull up .xlsx but not .xls spreadsheets. Link to comment
