can solr follow and index hyperlinks embedded in rich text documents (pdf, doc, etc)?

I have a feeling the answer is "no" since you wouldn't want to start 
indexing a large volume of office documents containing hyperlinks that 
could lead all over the internet.  But, since there might be a use case 
like "a customer just asked me if it could be done?", I thought I would 
make sure.


Thanks - Tod

Hi Tod, Solr doesn't actually crawl, If you need to feed Solr with that kind
of information you'll have to use some crawling tool or implement that
yourself.
