Comment: indexing PDF files?

" TheAlchemist: Why do you always come with so difficult question guy? Anyway you are right, and YACS deserves a better indexation scheme for files. "

Ah, it's my specialty.

" Actually, if you look carefully at line 437 of files/edit.php, you will see a proud comment flagging the place where to add such a thing... "

Yup, I see it...

" I know that some tools are able to extract searchable text from binary files, but I have not practiced them yet. So, if you want to start something in this field, please proceed... "

Well, first I will be working on LDAP support for YACS, because this is crucial for our needs.

I'll work on extracting text from binary files if I have the time. We'll see.

" Thank you very much for your interest in YACS. Glad to know that it has proven quite useful to your university. "

Of course! I think the university would allow linking to the page once it gets officially deployed. I can't wait to see this CMS a few years from now when it would have (hopefully) hundreds of documents.
