Hello!

I need to search on the disk trough doc and pdf files. What would you
suggest me to use for reading and indexing those kind of files?


Thanks,
Arthur

I've heard of some doc-html/text and pdf-html/text converters. You could
convert them to that format (since you're just after the text, right?), and
then search them that way. Might be able to use COM if you're on a Windows
system, also.

conversion

mnogosearch/aspseek can index and search pdf, haven't used them lately 
so i don't remember if they support word. monogo has a php interface to it.
Anything word specific is best posted in a M$ news group.
