In https://docs.plone.org/manage/installing/requirements.html#optional-libraries the wv package is mentioned for indexing Word documents. The http://wvware.sourceforge.net page shows some old download links, including to an area of sourceforge that looks even sketchier than sourceforge normally is (and the binary I downloaded isn't even the promised one! hmmm). Is there a CentOS or RedHat rpm available? My search-fu has failed me.
Here you can find the Fedora download link: https://github.com/plone/ansible.plone_server/issues/119

Extra info: wv is only necessary for 'old' Word .doc files I think. The current docx format (or how long is it since MS introduced it, 10+ years....?) is xml based and Products.OpenXML provides portaltransforms plugins for those.

I’ve been trying out indexing on demo.plone.org, where it successfully works with PDFs but not .docx. Is there a repo that indicates what is on that server? @pbauer
Wow, we need an addon here? Nobody ever added this transform + icons to core? Anybody up for a pull request?
