[Typo3-debian] Strange indexed search problem, server related I think!

Currently, the indexed_search extension uses some external programs:
- catdoc (Word file to text conversion)
- pdftotext (PDF to text conversion)

Do these work fine on the command line?

You should try to do some debugging in tslib/class.tslib_search.php and in
$EXTDIR/indexed_search/class.indexer.php.

Please not that if you have the extension installed twice (locally and
globally), then the version in typo3conf/ext/indexed_search/ will take
precedence over typo3/ext/indexed_search/.

It's ok to stay here.
