Help with PicoSearch

What will PicoSearch do with my images and other non-text files?

PicoSearch automatically recognizes non-HTML and non-text files, and unless your PicoSearch has a special filter for some of the tags within the file (such as Flash and MP3), it knows not to index them. Completely unindexed files like images will not count toward the size limits of your search engine.
 
If you really want your images to be in some way searchable, then what can be searched is the image alt text in the HTML files that refer to them, in lines like the following. Just be sure to turn on the option for this in your Account Manager's Index Modes section before reindexing.
 
<img src="pets.jpg" alt="Princess and Spot, two overgrown puppies" />
