Phillip - You may be interested to start with the example/files that ships with
Solr. It is specifically designed as a configuration (and UI!) that deals
with indexing rich files with a bit more than other examples - it pulls out
acronyms, e-mail addresses, and URLs from text, as well as what you’ve asked
about, mapping content types to more friendly human types (“image” instead of
the whole gamut of image/* content-types).
