Yes that should result in:

$ swish-e -c c -i T5420.pdf 
err: FileFilter: requires "extension" "filter" "[options]"

And

 FileFilter .pdf '/Program Files/SWISH-E/lib/swish-e/pdftotext.exe' '%p -'

results in (on linux)

$ swish-e -c c -i T5420.pdf -v0
sh: /Program: No such file or directory

So, yes, you do need to sets of quotes, and around %p, too.

FileFilter .pdf '"/Program Files/SWISH-E/lib/swish-e/pdftotext.exe"' '"%p -"'

If not on Windows swap those quotes so the shell sees single quotes.

And, no swish doesn't search for the program first, so you need to
specify the full path or have the program in your PATH.
