at the URL above are the most critical features missing for MediaWiki to
be used as a full-featured CMS in a large enterprise.
In 1.5 you can set up a search engine plugin, which could modify the
index updating behavior.
I'm not sure if this is something we'd include in the core distribution;
remember our target audience is large-scale free-content prose projects,
not enterprise internal CMSes. :)

I agree, but at the same time I use a wiki for sharing notes with
classmates and we post Oo and M$ files on their all the time. It would
be very nice to have a way to index them.
