Not searchable -
I had gathered that images weren't searchable which makes sense to me
(except for descriptive information) but I did not realize that a
document with 'text' would not be searchable.
I do see now that it seems to put all uploaded 'media' to IMAGE: which I
am not sure I understand.
I must have missed it. There must be an uploadable type for DOCUMENT or
similar? Yes ? Something that IS searchable. Other than converting to
a page, which will be our fall back position, the problem with this is
the users resistance to 'editing' in anything other than WORD. Then
having to 'convert' copy/paste etc.
Thanks for all the help, input and knowledge

Something to consider: regardless of which (if any) of those options you
pick, the contents of the documents will not be findable via the built
in
mediawiki search feature.
Of course, if you already know that, have a solution, or don't care,
please
disregard :)
