How does Identity Finder address programs and memory, and how does that affect the searching of large files?

Identity Finder uses IFilter for most programs, so that the native API (Application Programming Interface) of the program can be used to search for sensitive information. Identity Finder needs to have a contiguous block of 128 megabytes of memory for searching files—hence the file size limitation of 128 megabytes. If you manage a file server, search the server based on file size to determine the existence of large files.
