The list of MIME types that Sybase Search can index is in the MimeTypeMap.default.xml configuration file. In the configuration file, each MIME type is assigned a type and is marked as to whether or not it is supported.
A MIME type might have several extensions, each of which may or may not be indexable. The list of MIME types allows Sybase Search to index only those document types that may contain valid text data. Common formats such as plain text, Microsoft Office documents, Adobe PDF documents, and HTML files are indexable by default, whereas executable MIME types are not.
You can add custom MIME types and the appropriate text filter in the FilterFactory.default.xml file.
