The TikaAllTheFiles (TATF) extension facilitates full-text search over uploaded files, by using the Apache Tika content analysis toolkit, which "detects and extracts metadata and text from over a thousand different file types".

In practical terms: if you already have Extension:CirrusSearch set up and working on your wiki, TATF will allow you to perform full-text searches over the contents of almost any uploaded file --- not just the PDFs.

TATF's features and capabilities:

• extract embedded digital text from any type of uploaded file so that it can be indexed for full-text search;
• extract and index printed text from bitmap image files and from images embedded in document files, e.g., image-only PDF's (requires Tesseract OCR;
• extract metadata from any type of uploaded file for display on File: pages;
• index metadata properties along with text, to enable simple searching for properties within full-text search.
