Try IndexContents

Yes, the default is to index as html, unless you change the DefaultContents.

Again you may find slightly better indexing speed by using the "prog"
feature and filter the documents before passing to swish.  The filter
feature runs an external program for every document filtered.  On the other
hand, filters are probably easier to configure since it's all done from the
config file, and the expense of forking/exec for every filtered document
probably isn't that much.
