After googling, I found following:
The Microsoft Filter
Pack is a single point-of-distribution for Office IFilters.
IFilters are components that allow search services to index content of
specific file types, letting you search for content in those files.
When crawling content, the crawler uses
an IFilter to read individual file types
They are
intended for use with Microsoft Search Services (SharePoint, SQL, Exchange, and
Windows Search).
From This MSDN link you can see File types (that appear by default on the Manage File Types page in Central
Administration and describes whether their corresponding IFilters are registered by default) and IFilters reference (SharePoint Server
2010).
