[dokuwiki] Re: Search engine plugin

Hello. Is there a plugin or some other method to have Dokuwiki search linked .doc, and .pdf files?
I use Dokuwiki for documentation at the Satellite Earth Station I work at and we have tons of documentation in MS Word files and PDF. I’m thinking a way to do it is to have a cron job run at a designated time, scan the files linked to in the wiki, and build some sort of index the search function can access. 


Any ideas?


I think that you need something like KnowledgeTree

http://www.knowledgetree.com/
It works under Apache + PHP + MySQL and it's free (like in speech and like in beer, at least the basic version ).
This programs requires more work from your users (they must upload every single file after it's been created (*) ) and it forces you to use two programs (Dokuwiki+KnowledgeTree), but I think this is what you need, besides Dokuwiki.
(*) It's also possible to do a bulk upload and index, very interesting if you have an already created ton of documentation :-) 


Best regards.
