21. Google Now Indexes PDF Files
http://www.google.com/

The indomitable Google has recently begun indexing content in .pdf
files, allowing searchers a significant peek into the "invisible
Web," the large area of online content not covered by most search
engines. PDF files are differentiated by a [PDF] label and instead of
a cached version, Google provides a link to a plain text version of
the document. Keeping a plain text version allows Google to apply its
PageRank technology and integrate .pdf content with normal search
returns. Test searches did not turn up a large number of .pdf files,
but adding "pdf" to the query produced a more significant proportion
in the returns, although they were not always the majority. [MD]
