Full text index-ability, indexing, and container extraction status of files in a collection repository is displayed to a user in connection with content management in EDiscovery. Thus, the user knows which files failed to index and explode and which files that are not indexable. The user also knows which files have not been indexed yet, so they are not omitted from an analysis. Accordingly, users can start working on collected files without waiting for the maximum possible indexing period. Further, users can start working immediately on the collected content, thus avoiding slowing down the work during frequent updates to the content repository. Only indexing and extraction status information that is relevant to the search query is displayed, thus minimizing the time needed to analyze the files that are not indexed or not exploded manually. Automatic and manual update of a list of un-indexable file types is provided, based on historical information collected during collection repository operation, thus enhancing the user experience with time and adapting the EMA to new file types. Further, both the person who performed the collection and the person who manages the EDiscovery effort are kept informed about the processing status of the collection by sending notifications, displaying alerts, and by providing appropriate views.
