<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>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.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>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?</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>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?</span></font></p>
