Hi Tom, 

I believe what you are looking for is a very custom solution that does not come 
out of the box with OFBiz. 

I think you should take a look at apache POI (http://poi.apache.org/) and 
apache lucene (https://lucene.apache.org/). Together you can use both solutions 
to access microsoft documents and index them for searching. 

Another workaround is to integrate with a document management system that 
supports indexed search of binary documents. There are many open source 
solutions out there that live on the JVM. 

Regards,

Subject: Ofbiz search engine 

Can Ofbiz be use for the following requirement? 
How can I go about achieving this with Ofbiz? 

I have a folder with Microsoft Word and pdf document format. 
Can I leveraging Ofbiz to search the contents of these documents, find it 
then allow to view it? 


Search and find key words that exist or matched for each document then map 
that to that document for view. 

FYI, I posted this question before but some how I can not find it. So, I 
repost it again. 

Thanks, 
-T
