For Readymade solution (good for do things quickly) see lucene-silverstripe-plugin.

For Crude approach (good if you like to learn the internals),

On similar lines you can also index other files. For Ms-word (.doc file) see

The first link is quite detailed on the tools needed to be installed on the server to convert the various file formats to plain text, which can then be indexed. – Louis-Philippe Huberdeau Jan 18 '12 at 14:54
