Search Files
Search Files allows searching through the text of PDF, MS Word, plain text, and other types of files in given directories of the server, these files need not be attached to nodes.
Helper Apps
In order to extract the text from attached files, this module calls 'helper apps' such as cat and pdftotext. Drupal administrators can configure any helpers they like. Helper apps need to be installed on the server and need to be setup to print to stdout. Most Linux distributions have the following helper apps available.
- cat - generic text (txt) files
- pdftotext - Adobe Acrobat (pdf) Documents
- catdoc - Microsoft Word (doc) Documents
- xls2csv - Microsoft Excel (xls) files
- catppt - Microsoft Power Point (ppt) files
- unrtf - Rich Text Format (rtf) files
