Thanks for the reply Clayton, I have already performed the step to allow me to use content types in the search scope. All other document types are working as expected in the search scope for this content type except PDF files. e.g. if I search for something inside a particular word document in this scope it is returned without any problems but if I search for something inside a PDF file it does not. However if I do an all sites search for the same content inside a PDF then it is found. Andy

I don't have my SSP in front of me so the following may be a little different. 1. Go into Search Settings 2. Open Metadata Property Mappings 3. Find the property Content Type, open it and check the "Allow this property to be used in scopes". This should hopefully do the trick.

I have installed the FoxIT PDF iFilter to index PDF documents which seems to be working fine. I then created a search scope which limits items to a particular content type via a property query. The PDF files are uploaded to the document library as this content type and then a full crawl is performed. The problem is that none of the PDF files appear in the search results for the scope. It appears that the search scope is not including any PDF files as when you create and update the scope the number of items in the scope is less than it should be (i.e. not including the PDF files). If I do a search via the entire site it finds the PDF files without fuss. This means that the indexing is working correctly and so it must be something to do with the search scope. Any help would be much appreciated.
