Hi,

the "correct" way would be as follows:

write an "extractor", that extracts text data out of binary files (doc, pdf, ...)
use an "indexer", for example Lucene to index this stuff
implement a "contains" query running on Lucene.

Currently Christophe Lombart and Daniel Florey is working on that, I was on it as 
well, but currently 
I have no chance to spend time for slide.

The current implementation for CONTAINS is quite slow, it really searches in all 
documents
without using an index, so a Lucene based CONTAINS is very useful.

Regards,
Martin Wallmer
