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
