[Orgmode] Re: exporting all org files to txt periodically

 Where I work, we have a powerful search engine that indexes all kinds

 It does not understand the .org extension.

 I would like to know how I could periodically export my org files to
 txt, maybe through a command, to a specific location on my network.
 This way, the search engine could index all my notes...

Publishing provides a convenient way to export org files en masse:

http://orgmode.org/manual/Publishing.html#Publishing

You can publish as ascii by setting the publishing-function to
org-publish-org-to-ascii.

 Since Org-mode files are plain text, I don't think you would need to
 export them at all, rather I would imagine an easier solution would be
 to either

 1. teach the search engine that .org means .txt

Just wanting to add a variant:

1bis. teach Emacs that .txt means Org-mode:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq auto-mode-alist
(append '(
  (\\.txt$ . org-mode)
  ) auto-mode-alist))
#+end_src

 2. symlink all of your .org files to .txt file, e.g. on a linux, unix,
OSX system the following shell script will create a .txt symlink for
each .org file in the current directory
#+begin_src sh
  for i in `ls --color=never *.org`;do
  ln -s $i `basename $i .org`.txt
  done
#+end_src

Best regards,
  Seb
