You could always add to that additional indexing filters for other formats.
I've seen opensource projects that incorporate plugins to index things
like pdf files, MS doc/xls/ppt files, JPEG exif data, etc., with
options for OCR to index scanned documents. One such that I tried out
was Docmgr:

I'm not sure how much work it would take to get htdig to use the
same plugins, but it might be worth investigating.
