HttpCode

Today I was asked if it was possible to have a different icon display in the search results if the returned document was a PDF.

The answer was yes.

Here’s how:

• Save the image to the <12 hive> \Template\Images\   directory
• Edit the following xml file:  <12 hive>\Template\Xml\DOCICON.XML
• Add the following line: <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="pdf.gif"/>

*Note the <12 hive> is normally located at: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\12
