How do I index .doc and .pdf files stored in a database (which uses MS SQL Server) in asp.net (C#)?

You need to read into Full Text Search and iFilter- here is the MSDN docs for IFilter. It looks like there is even an IFilter MSDN blog.

This site looks like it has a good list of filters you can download.
