FILTER_S_LAST_TEXT
Filter returned the final text for the current chunk
FILTER_S_LAST_TEXT is HRESULT 268041 (0x00041709) from Indexing Service. The documented description is “This is the last text in the current chunk.” The severity bit indicates a nonfailure result, but the value carries a specific condition that must not be collapsed into plain S_OK.
In the legacy Indexing Service or IFilter pipeline, this result means that this is the last text in the current chunk. Acceptance depends on the returned state and outputs, not only on the cleared severity bit.
Where the status is encountered
- Legacy Indexing Service catalog processing; log the exact method and object state instead of interpreting the constant outside that contract.
- IFilter text and property extraction; log the exact method and object state instead of interpreting the constant outside that contract.
- Search enumeration, scan scheduling, or catalog administration; log the exact method and object state instead of interpreting the constant outside that contract.
What must be true before accepting it
Verify that the text buffer is consumed once and no additional GetText call is assumed to yield data for this chunk. This check separates a legitimate outcome from code that ignores an incomplete or altered operation.
Before retrying the operation, classify its effects as completed, partial, pending, cancelled, adapted, or terminal.
Evidence to preserve
- Preserve chunk ID and break type.
- Preserve characters requested and returned.
- Preserve source and destination offsets.
- Preserve text buffer encoding.
- Preserve next GetChunk result.
Difference from nearby results
The distinction around it determines whether the caller stops, waits, consumes output, or changes state.
Correct handling and recovery
Index the returned characters, preserve their source offsets, and move to the next chunk. Do not discard the final buffer merely because the status is not plain S_OK.
Practical scenario
An IFilter implementation returns 120 characters together with this status. The host indexes those characters and then calls GetChunk, avoiding loss of the final sentence.
