Hehe, do you expect Microsoft to provide software that works together with 
other people's software? If so, you're wrong.

A way to index PDF files will be in the next version (and is on the 
patches page), you could also adapt it to use a Word2Ascii converter etc.
For every MS format you need a converter that puts out ASCII and you have 
to adapt the script to call it.

Whenever you call indexer.pl, it totally starts from scratch.
