No there is nothing in mojoPortal that can index Word docs nor pdf files or other proprietary file formats, we only can index plain text/html content. We don't have a way to extract the text content from those files, though there are 3rd party commercial solutions there are no free open source ones for Office docs. We use Lucene.net for the search index.

There is one trick that some people use, and that is to use the Shared Files feature and copy the text of the document into the description of the file (keeping the description as not shown to users since that would be ugly). Since the description is indexed this makes it possible to find the files based on their content, but it is more work since the text of the document has to be pasted into the description after uploading the file.

Hope that helps,

Joe
