full-text indexing of pdf, rtf, txt, html

I have a big pile of files on my local machine that are in a variety of
formats - txt, rtf, pdf, html, etc. What I'm looking for is a script
that will crawl through the files and perform simple full-text indexing
on them, and will allow for queries to be executed on the index.

I gave PHPDig a shot but it prefers web-based setups - my files are all
stored locally and will only be accessed locally.

Any recommendations ?

thx.

Try Google Desktop Search:

Or get a copy of Mac OS X.

The spotlight facility to search for / through files is pretty
impressive - well compared to what you may be used to on Windows.

I'm trying to track down a Java performance issue, and believe it may be related to GC behavior. Quick background: j2se app server running Caucho Resin 2.1.12, on RHEL3 with Sun JDK 1.4.2_04, modest number of threads, serving approx 50-150 requests per second. The system runs as expected until the first Full GC, which happens as normal, when the heap has reached near full. .... 9235.733:

I have pull-down menus in javascript and I have the code for opening a link in a new window. But I want it to open a full-sized window. I can't figure out the syntax. What I have so far: Menu5_5_1=new Array("'Lonely Church","javascript:window.open ('http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2640310')","",0,20,300); That works fine, except I can't figure out how to modify it to make it open full-screen.

To all, The facts: PostgreSQL 7.4.0 running on BSD 5.1 on Dell 2650 with 4GB RAM, 5 SCSI drives in hardware RAID 0 configuration. Database size with indexes is currently 122GB. DB size before we completed the vacuum full was 150GB. We have recently done a major update to a table, f_pageviews, in our data warehouse. The f_pageviews table contains about 118 million rows.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
