I think it is ok to let the admin make a choice: entries per file format
(.ppt), per application (.ppt+.pps) or per format group
(.ppt+.pps+.sxi+.odp+)

Actually the "per format group" is more than enough IMHO, but let this
the users/admisn decide.

once and found that the defaults used by the indexed search were not
ready for the new stuff.
