Office System 2007 Filter Pack download
Love to see the visio formats zip and various new formats. I now I’ve seen people purchase the .zip formats so it’s cool to see that. I’ve also heard of people installing Visio on the server
So this should be a welcome download. I forget where I saw this recently, but know it’s been something many search people have been on the watch for.
Below are the steps to add these IFilters for Indexing with the appropriate specific Search product, please see the associated KB article below:

WSS 3.0: View and edit Search Scopes in Search Administration
Nov 10th
Just installed Search Server 2008 Express for your WSS 3.0 app?? And now you want to add a new scope to the search dropdown for you FARM? But you can’t seem to find the scopes on the Search Administration site? Well Daniel Berg gave me a good tip and told me that the link to the “View Scopes” page in Search Administrator seems to be hidden.. and to access the page you need to know the exact URL which he provided:
http://ExampleSite:PortToSearchAdministration/ssp/admin/_layouts/ViewScopesSSP.aspx?Mode=ssp
Just add this link to you “Links” Web Part on the Search Administration Start Page for future use. This will make it possible to Manage Search Scopes for your WSS farm.
If you want to edit your Search Scope the old fashion way then it’s Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Site Collection Administration -> Search Scopes
