In all honesty we are not sure what we need, either. What we do know
is that we have thousands of documents in several different formats
(Word, Excel, PowerPoint, e-mail, PDF, Illustrator, PageMaker, etc.)
and that we often get requests for "the file that had something to do
with {insert topic}." The quick-and-dirty is to use find+strings
+grep. But it would be nice if there was way to index the documents
based on content.
A quick google search turned up the Google mini:

Thanks for the reference to htdig.
