Thank you, Tamouse. I'll research the leads you've given me and do a little 
experimentation.

Interesting question. I can't think of anyway to do this in a way that directly 
serves up the document in pmwiki. Off the top of my head, you could create a 
page for each attached file with whatever tags, comments, and other metadata 
you might want to have about it, linkng to the attachment, or perhaps add an 
iframe (that would require additional markup, i think) on the per-document wiki 
page. It's not elegant, by any means.

This, however, doesn't really get at your first wish, which is searching the 
content of the documents themselves and retrieval based on that. That would 
require a different search function, possibly using google site: search. Beyond 
that, I'm not sure what you would need to do to integrate that into pmwiki. 
Maybe look at http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/GoogleSearch or 
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/GoogleCSE ?
