As Eli suggested docindexer (which is free) and there is an installer for that I added support for docindexer too. It works nicely for what it does. However unfortunately it is still unusable since the binary version of docindexer currently does not let you tell which files extensions it should index as text. I have asked the author/maintainer of docindexer, Stuart Rackham, for help and hope he will fix it.
