Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I added support for powerpoint indexing. Although the catdoc package has a catppt tool, I found the ppthtml in xlhtml package to work much better.
There is also a funny problem with the title of the doc when using ppthtml, which I fixed temporarily by using $basename for the title when parsing the search results.
Would be nice to have the context of the word searched, but not sure if swish-e provides this.
Otherwise - great work!

seannyob commentedsfarestam did great work, but i found it odd that his comment was so positive about ppthtml yet actually implemented catppt. ;)
This patch does almost exactly what his does but utilizes ppthtml. Assumes default path to ppthtml is in /usr/local/bin, which is the assumption for most other filters here, however, as I use debian, I don't know where that application would be installed on boxen that use RPMs. Or windows, golly who knows.
In addition, I added ppt verbiage to the code comments, fixed a spelling error, etc.
Also please note that if you apply this patch to an exisiting swish.module you probably want to drop a ppt.png into modules/swish/images.

seannyob commentedOops. That link isn't right.
The a png ppt icon is available here, among other places: http://colleygraphics.com/files/ppt.png.
Trying to attach it to this comment, also. We'll see if that works.
