[Zope] Full-text search in Office/PDF

[Marco Bizzarri]

You could do that using the excellent TextIndexNG inside a ZCatalog. 
This will allow you to index all your documents inside the TextIndexNG, 
and then search them using ZCatalog.

TextIndexNG includes support for a number of plugins in order to convert 
from MS Office/PDF to text and then index them.

We're using the tool inside our project (PAFlow) and we think it is an 
excellent product.

Regards
Marco
