I would absolutely love a feature that allowed you to have full text searching on a system that cannot (or I should say will not) install the pdftotext feature.
For me an ideal kind of thing would be to be able to upload a HTML galley but have a tick box that hides it from public view, or just upload a text/html file that can be indexed.
P.S. I have seen the hack to gray out the html but I am in the process of planning to bring a number of journals into the OJS framework and hacks are undesirable when dealing with a larger number of journals.
Thanks

Hey,
A while ago, we implemented something like what you want because we were having pdftotext issues. It involves creating a text file containing the full text of the PDF, which is uploaded as a hidden file and handed to the indexer for searching.
I'm attaching a unified diff to my post, which contains the code. It's a diff against version 2.1.0 of OJS, and may/may not go in cleanly against the latest branch. We've since moved away from it, because our issue with pdftotext has been remedied and we're using that now, instead.
Regards,
Jason
