Q: 

What are your success or horror stories with Lucene.Net and MS's COM Filter?

I am interested in building a search solution with Lucene.Net for pdf and MS Office documents. My idea is to have a Windows service that runs and indexes files on a scheduled basis. From my cursory reading I have to use a COM filter from Microsoft that perform indexing on the .docs, .ppts, etc.

What issues did you encounter and how did you resolve them?
