What content does DWG IFilter crawl and index
The DWG IFilter helps adding the DWG files to the Search Index.
In the Configurator tool, installed with DWG IFilter, you can set which text sections from the DWG files are retrieved (and indexed).
Here is a screenshot to give you an idea:

By default all possible text, names, tags, referenced filenames; anything is added to the index. Basic AutoCAD users and other public will expect to be able to fins the DWG files on any text that is printed on paper when plotting the drawing from AutoCAD: this is MText, Text and Attributes. More advanced users can be expected to search for referenced dwg names, block names; very advanced AutoCAD users may want to search for text in specialty items including view names, UCS names. With the widest setting, including all items, you will serve all levels of AutoCAD users. I believe that the settings are usually left at the default, keeping all options checked.
