Not sure about an embeddable library, but here are a couple good
standalone indexing/search engines:
http://htdig.org/ is open source, and is perl
http://alkaline.vestris.com is very fast and inexpensive, but not open
source
PDF and Word should be converted to text or html and the resulting file
indexed. Everyone uses
http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/ for pdf; htdig has
a doc2html script for word.

I'm doing some research for an app and one of the things I need is the
ability to index (and subsequently search, obviously) a store of
content in text documents, pdf files, and Word documents. It can be
Java or Obj-C. I prefer not to use straight C simply due to my own
limitations in the language. I'm wondering if anyone has knowledge of
anything like this. What is Apple using in Sherlock/iTunes/etc?
Whatever became of AIAT?
TIA,
