Dear FoxTrot Support,

Why FoxTrot Pro does not recognize and index some files? I added a
collection of .htm and .xls files and Foxtrot does not display them during
searches. These files are however searchable on my other search engine -
dtSearch. I'd greatly appreciate if you could help me resolve this problem.

Thank you and best regards,

Sergei
