I have been using HTdig for awhile now here at work on a http server for internal use.  I maintain a large archive with our companies / vendors / customers contracts.  I had setup HTdig to search the company's contracts, but I never had it working that great.  
The archived contracts are mostly in .doc .pdf .xls .rtf .html formats.  I had been using a few external convertors with HTdig to search these documents, but I was never happy with the results.

As of this morning my current HTdig setup seems to have died.  I am wondering if it is worth it to take the time to get the current Htdig working again, or should I use that time to setup something else.  I am not sure about HTdig.  The project hasn't had an update since 2004, so I am not sure if it is dead or not.

Can anyone recommend an open source search program that can search the above mentioned formats?

Thanks,
