To be a bit more precise, it can index files that can be retrieved
using the HTTP protocol. The core program can index only HTML and
plain text files, but you can use external parsers for any type of
files (eg. msword, pdf, postscript). And you can always make your
files available through HTTP by using web server software.

Read the index++(1), extract++(1) and search++(1) manual pages for
information on using swish++.
