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

None of them are installed, and I am not yet trying to make PDF and Word 
indexing to work. It is next on the todo list ;)

I'll have a look at that.

I am aware of that. The old version is removed, so that only the one for 
3.7.0 is installed is on the server, which makes me pretty sure that there 
is no problem related to this.

Thank you ;)

Regarding the basics packages, thank you Alexander: The server administrator 
did compile PHP and MySQL outside the debian core, which I am very sorry for 
today, which is why there is a maintainence upgrade coming up, making PHP 
and MySQL becoming a normal debian package again, but backportet from 
dotdebian.org or backports.org.

Alexander, you mention that the apache is outdated, are your sure? I am not 
aware of that? What is the newest stable version?
