Hello everyone,
Please excuse me if the question is really dumb... but I am a newbie here, so I should be forgiven for that:) The question is this: can PDF files uploaded to a Mediawiki-powered site be made searchable, and if so, how does one go about that?
Thanks a lot for all your help.
Cheers,
With Lucene it should be possible. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LuceneSearch

Though this Lucene looks like a whole monster system in and of itself.

Lucene can in principle index pdf documents, but this extensions is (still) not doing it.

Well, Lucene also looks like a total overkill for the purpose. pdftotext extracts text from PDF files; all I need is to tie it in to the search engine Mediawiki already provides for text files.

Hello again,
A little while back I have asked if there was a way to search PDF files (the text in the PDF files) via MediaWiki. I have gotten some tentative advice in response.
However, before I start trying to implement that advice let me ask you all one more question: does anybody actually have a MediaWiki site that can search the text inside PDF files?
Thanks.
Boris.
