You can use text extractors for the document formats you mentioned. Lucene as such does not deal with this text extraction process. Following are the extractors we generally use: PDF -> PDFBox: Java API to read PDF documents http://www.pdfbox.org. WORD -> Antiword: http://www.winfield.demon.nl/ TXT -> You can read the content using Java IO classes and index them. MSG -> We currently using strings utility in Solaris that reads printable characters from files. XLS -> Apache POI utils has classes to read Excel files. so you can use that. PPT/PPS -> Apache POI's PowerPointExtractor RTF -> Java Swing has RTFEditorKit which we use to read RTF documents.
