binary search

Are you sure the text is not made available? Is ezpdftotext available to the webserver?

Some other things to metion along the obvious:

- There is a search bug: you need a rule for your role which says content|read|*

- Is your binary file in the class made searchable?

- run the updatesearchindex.php script from the commandline, it gives you more clues of what's happening

- check the search index tables in the database, is there anything there from your pdf files?

- is your pdf file protected in some way?

Here its working fine, so it should work for you too. Even with large documents (one OOo generated pdf with 167 pages took roughly 4 seconds to insert which includes indexing).

Tony,

Glad it works for you too now.

I'm still looking for something that can output text from powerpoint files (under linux).

On the other hand there is more pressure in the OOo forums to have command-line conversions .... wanna do a disappear trick for .doc files into something more persistent (but the wv filter does a good job already).
