How does Alfresco's content indexing work?

We uploaded MSWord and MSExcel documents.  When I search for the text that are within these documents, SEARCH does not show any result

Not that we are saying SEARCH does not work, b'cos we have tested SEARCH for TEXT data & it has worked in the past, and also we have searched for text from the MSWord / MSExcel file in the past & it has worked for us.

What we are un-sure is, how long does it take for the INDEXING server to kick-in once the file is uploaded. In our case it was a very small file & data within the file is very minimal, still SEARCH does not feed the result & we have been waiting for 20-30 minutes since the time we uploaded the file.  We grabbed the content of this MSWord file & uploaded the content as TEXT file & then searched, the result was instanteneous.

Question:  Is there any configuration, that says index the file right-away or index every <n> minute, that we can tweak?

The problem is not converting the file. finding out the document by searching inside the document. can anyone resolve this one?
