Why use Office Document Support?

Search Office files locally

Extract searchable text and document metadata from common Office formats without sending files to a remote service.

Fits the normal Searchmonkey workflow

Word documents and presentations are prepared in the background so they behave like first-class search results.

Useful for mixed project archives

Keep contracts, reports, letters, and slide decks searchable alongside plain text, PDFs, and other indexed content.

Private by default

Processing stays on your machine, and the plugin can be disabled whenever you do not want Office preprocessing enabled.

Find the right Office file without opening each one.

The plugin pulls document text into Searchmonkey so Office files show up with the same fast matching and preview-oriented workflow as the rest of your local archive.
