I do it on a couple sites. My servers are all Linux flavors and need some extra public domain programs on them. If you go to Admin -> File Galleries, at the bottom is the File Galleries Search Indexing. I use:

MIME TypeSystem command
application/msword /usr/local/bin/catdoc %1 -
application/pdf /usr/local/bin/pdftotext %1
application/vnd.ms-excel /usr/local/bin/xls2csv %1
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint /usr/local/bin/catppt %1
text/html strings %1
text/plain strings %1


The programs in /usr/local/bin need to be manually installed on your server.
I do not have any Windows Servers, The same philosophy would work, but would need different external programs.
