Hi Sophie,

Full-text indexing and searching of PDFs / HTML docs / Word docs is available 
within DSpace.  If you run the following script, it will generate these indexes:

 - http://www.dspace.org/1_6_2Documentation/ch08.html#N1605F
 - [dspace]/bin/dspace filter-media

The current version of DSpace does not show snippets of text in the search 
results to indicate where in the full text the search string was found.  This 
is possible, and we have an open ticket in our development tracking system to 
address this: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-172

Thanks,
