I just came across this module and was wondering whether it would be possible to use it for indexing fields that contain files (e.g. pdf documents). I have a site with PDFs stored in FileField CCK fields which I would like to index. Would it be possible to use Field Indexer for this and would they be searchable using the core search or only by using faceted search?

If it is maybe you could point me to how to get started on writing my own indexer fro FileFields.

Thanks!

I'm not sure that Field Indexer is really relevant to what you want to achieve.

Better starting points might be Search Files and Swish-E, which I guess could be made to understand file fields. You'd probably want those modules to index the documents in the core index so that we can all enjoy a unified node/document search.
