[pmwiki-users] Search

The wiki that I am setting up is to be a technical information portal in
my office. At the moment, the office already has hundreds of technical
documents (in PDF, DOC, etc formats) that are currently saved on one of
the servers. I am looking for a way to integrate them into the
information portal. The most important goal for me is to find a way for
the users to search all the documents (whether a part of the wiki or
not) on the servers.

 

One cumbersome way would be create a wiki page for each article,
populate it with appropriate keywords and then attach the article. This
would ensure that the article shows up in searches, albeit with great
limitations. However, if the PMwiki search engine could also search the
attachments, it would be a significant enhancement. Has anyone looked
into this before?

 

An even better solution would be if the search engine could be asked to
index and search documents which may not be a part of the wiki... Is
that beyond the scope of the wiki?

 

Thanks in anticipation of some advise.
