Rails - Aug 2007 - Index word and pdf documents for full-text search

Hello list,

I''m about to start building a document catalog in Rails, and it is
basically
a catalog for .doc and .pdf documents. First, I would like to know if there
is anything like lucene for Rails (or Ruby) - maybe a Rails plugin?

Second: It would be nice if the user could search for a term and the search
engine could "look into" the available documents. Would it be possible
somehow to pre-index word and pdf documents so that they would be searchable
?

Thanks,

Marcelo.
