Hi,
In a different thread, i sent this post:
 
Hi, i am experiencing the same issue here. But not only with pdfs. I installed the module to my site and added it to my page, activated it succesfully. I re-indexed my site in host>search admin panel and then, i made some searches. There are two html modules in another page, one has some sentences written in it, other has a word file (.doc) inserted. When i search the words in first module, LuceneSearch finds it successfully, there isn't any problem here. But when i search a word inside the .doc file in the second html module, it doesn't show any results. I am not very experienced in this issue so can someone explain me what i'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance, regards.
And i got this reply:
Notice that the document indexation is working only if yours documents are in a document module like Documents or Repository.
And as you say, i added the two modules to a page (Documents and Repository) and uploded 1 .docx and 1 .pdf file to each module. Then i re-indexed my site and made a search in lucenesearch. still no solution.. not only for the words inside the .pdf or .docx file, but also for the file names.
My employers said that if i can't find any solution about document indexing, they may consider returning the module back.
AND THIS IS AN URGENT SITUATION, SO PLEASE REPLY ASAP.
Regards.
 Hi,
the new module release is in test and will be available soon. However, I want to know what did use to make your research ? Lucene advanced search or in the search skinobject ? If you use the search skinObject, did you use the LuceneSearch SkinObject ?
For MSOffice documents indexation, you need to install additionnals filter. They are provided in the MSOffice install package.
Best Regards,
Moreover, you could download IFilter for Office Documents on Microsoft WebSite.
You also could install IFilter for PDF Documents in order to ensure PDF indexing. Otherwise, LuceneSearch module will use the 3rd part librairies included in the PA like PDFBox.
Regards,
Okay, firstly thanks for the answer. And I have a few questions.
1- i read the manual and it says that i have to declare a skinobject, but i don't know how to do it (i am a newbie) and so i am using default if there is one.
2- How can install Ifilter? Is there any manual for it?
Thanks in advance.
You'll find the IFilter installer here : 
http://www.microsoft.com/...p;amp;displaylang=en
Download it and execute it on your webserver.
  
 For the Skin Object, you must modify two parts in your skin. Replace the DNN SkinObject declaration and DNN SkinObject Element by the following informations :
The SkinObject declaration :
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ARICIELUCENESEARCH" Src="~/DesktopModules/Aricie.LuceneSearch/SearchSkinObject.ascx" %>
The SkinObject element :
 <dnn:ARICIELUCENESEARCH runat="server" ID="dnnSEARCH"  ShowFilter="False" Submit="Go" />
