Install with dependencies from the SME Contribs repository by issuing the following command on the SME Server shell:

yum --enablerepo=dag localinstall swish-e-2.4.5-4.i386.rpm swish-e-d* swish-e-p*

There is no need to reboot.

====Setup====
In order to have swish-e index .doc .xls and .pdf files we need:

yum install perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel --enablerepo=dag
yum install perl-MIME-Types --enablerepo=dag
yum install xpdf

Test filter:
swish-filter-test
swish-filter-test -man
swish-filter-test -headers /path/to/xlsfile.xls
swish-filter-test -headers /path/to/docfile.doc
swish-filter-test -headers /path/to/pdffile.pdf

=== Configuration ===

As I was not interested in indexing web pages, just files in ibays I used the following spider:
/usr/libexec/swish-e/DirTree.pl

I modified it, so it would index .doc .xls .pdf files:

sub check_path {
my $path = shift;
return 1 if $path = /\.doc$/; # return true if ends in .doc?
return 1 if $path = /\.xls$/; # return true if ends in .xls?
return 1 if $path = /\.pdf$/; # return true if ends in .pdf?
return 0; # otherwise return false
}

Next create a config file: ibay.cfg

IndexDir /usr/libexec/swish-e/DirTree.pl

SwishProgParameters /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ibayname/files

StoreDescription HTML <body> 20000

# replace to make links to UNC
# works in IE, needs fix for Firefox
ReplaceRules remove /home/e-smith/files/ibays
ReplaceRules prepend //smeservername
ReplaceRules replace /files/ /

Next: run the swish. The index file will be placed in the current dir.

swish-e -c ibay.cfg -S prog -v 9

This should create both index.swish-e and index.swish-e.prop in the current dir.
