Hancom Office or (aka Hangul Word Processor) file (.hwp) is a de facto standard in Korea.
It is widely used by the government and courts, so it is a must-have option in Korea.
But Dtsearch and Windows search does not support it. Ifilters are commercially available at a high price.
Hwp support would make Ambar very competitive in Korea.

Hwp format was adopted as a standard and its specification was made public but only in Korean.

But there are some hwp parsing project you might want to reference.
