For example, you can install the Foxit PDF Preview Handler: http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2008/05/09/foxit-pdf-preview-handler.aspx. Then, when you click a PDF file in the search results, it should show a preview of the PDF in the lower-right pane.

There's also a preview pack that has handlers for some code file types: https://previewhandlers.codeplex.com/ ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/what-is-the-value-of-preview-handlers-why-would-i-want-to-enable-them/?ID=3e9e27ca-321c-4495-b9f9-d0effb6018d7 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 05:50:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/what-is-the-value-of-preview-handlers-why-would-i-want-to-enable-them/?ID=3e9e27ca-321c-4495-b9f9-d0effb6018d7 FileSeek Well, FileSeek documentation doesn't give an example of how preview panel is supposed to look if preview handler is enabled. I don't see anything in there regardless if I enable or disable preview handlers. What am I supposed to see in that lower right corner panel? Can you give us a screenshot from your computer as example? ]]>
