Hey there,
Is there any way I can enable document searching for .ppt, .dot, and .rtf files that are uploaded? My wiki will hold a lot of documents, and I need to be able to search through them all. I was able to do it for other documents by using this tutorial: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Uploaded_document_searching
So, can I do the same for others?

Probably, you just need a converter. As a last resort you can use 'strings'.
I wrote document searching hacks for ppt, doc, xls, and pdf. The doc one should work for .dot and .rtf.... maybe :-) Very simple and quick modifications to the upload script.
They are documented on the meta site - get to them from my user page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:MHart
