Caption Extractor Suite 1.1 is a rather praiseworthy program that consists of a series of plug-ins designed to enhance Sherlock's Search by Content features.

With the Caption Extractor Suite, Sherlock becomes a low cost, ready-to-use full-text solution for finding images on hard disks, CD-Roms* or other storage devices. (* Provided the index is created before writing the CD-Rom.) These plug-ins enable Sherlock to index the description inserted into the image files using the Document info feature of software applications such as Photoshop, Graphic Converter... or any other IPTC editors. Once the index is created, Sherlock can search through the ever-growing stock of image files to retrieve the required documents in a matter of seconds. At present, the Caption Extractor Suite supports JPEG and IPTC image files (the IPTC file format being the standard used in the press industry for exchanging information).
