You publish content but cannot find it using the search (continued)	Does the content have a non-standard alias extension? Aliases that use standard extensions are not a problem. However, you can create custom alias extensions. See Also: Extension If you do, that content is searchable only if you add the custom extension to Search Server's extension list. From the Search Server Administration page, click File types > New File Type, and add the custom extension. Then, run a full crawl to index these pages.
You publish content but cannot find it using the search (continued)	Is the content stored in a Smart Form field whose type is content? Search does not support Smart Form fields with an Advanced type of Content (instead of Attribute or Element). Smart Form fields that need to be indexed must have a type of Attribute or Element.

If it does not, ask Ektron Technical Support to send you a new file. 2. If anyone uploaded Visio documents to your server, make sure the iFilter is installed. See Installing the Visio IFilter.
