I have a question for all to mull over. The site has an upload feature where documents in several formats (pdf, word, text rtf) are placed into a folder on the server. One feature of the system is to enable the members to search the articles or uploaded documents for keywords or phrases.
So my question is has anyone attempted this and if so how quick was the search etc.
Usingthe filesystem functions to search docs

Google seems pretty good at that 
My guess is to convert every type of document to a text or html based version and connect these to the original document.
For pdf look here: http://www.searchtools.com/info/pdf.html
And then use something like http://www.phpdig.net/ ?
