Shawn,

thanks a lot for replying. I guess that one of the various linux tools 
out there is what I am looking for.
htdig would not do the job, as I would like to include pdf, xls, doc 
files into the search.

In the meantime, I found http://www.site-search-pro.com/order/ - but I 
am not sure if this is really what I am looking for.

What I am looking for is a simple way to include attached files, such as 
pdf, xls, doc in the search function of
document manager, which is residing on a SUSE linux server.

Any suggestions are greatly aprechiated - of course I would be more than 
happy to feed any results back into
document manager code, in case you guys are interested.
