LUCENE : configuration

[philere]

Hi,

I would like to configure Lucene (search tool) but I don't know how to process.
Eg- How to tell it to index diferent kind of documents (ppt, xsl, pdf, ..)

Many thanks for any information.

Rgds,

It automatically indexes all content (descendants of cm:content). 

Did you have a chance to look through Wiki articles related to searching?

The way indexing works is that Alfresco uses one of the out-of-the-box transformations to convret uploaded document to text (internally), and then Lucene is able to index them.
