We have the need to be able to search MS Word documents
as part of RT search.

Any ideas where to start on that?

Thanks!

You will need a MS Word → text converter. Then when an
attachment is of type MSWord, run the converter to generate
a text version of the document, then use that to feed a
fulltext index. Then your searches will pull up the
documents automatically.
