Hi Drew,

iFilters is what you are looking for.

An IFilter is a Windows tool that Laserfiche can use to retrieve text and properties associated with an electronic file. By default, Windows provides several IFilters that allow you to retrieve text from HTML documents, XML documents, Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) files, and Microsoft Office files. In addition to the filters provided by Windows, IFilters for other types of files exist. (IFilters are typically created by the software manufacturer of the application that created the desired file type.) To take advantage of one of these IFilters, download and install it. After an IFilter has been installed on your computer, it will be immediately available for use by Laserfiche. Text pages can be created for that type of file

It requires the Windows Search service to be added to your Laserfiche Search server VIA add window features.

You can download the iFilters and updates from Microsoft's download site.
