Hi, I'm working on such a plugin for Linux/Unix platforms right now! It uses external commands to transform PDF,PPT and DOC files to text, which are then indexed and searched with swish-e (http://swish-e.org/)
I still have a problem of integration with trac that may require a small modification of trac itself. I've just posted a message about that. Other than that, it works fine with ~100 pdf documents on my server. Since the index is pre-calculated, searching attachments is actually faster than searching the rest of trac. I'll post the plugin on trac-hacks when I've got a solution/work around my integration problem.
