Where I work, we have a powerful search engine that indexes all kinds of
files. It detects the converter to use based on the file extension. It does
not understand the .org extension.

I would like to know how I could periodically export my org files to txt,
maybe through a command, to a specific location on my network. This way, the
search engine could index all my notes...

Thanks,
Carl

  Since Org-mode files are plain text, I don't think you would need to
  export them at all, rather I would imagine an easier solution would be
  to either
  
  1. teach the search engine that .org means .txt
  
  2. symlink all of your .org files to .txt file, e.g. on a linux, unix,
     OSX system the following shell script will create a .txt symlink for
     each .org file in the current directory
     #+begin_src sh
       for i in `ls --color=never *.org`;do
           ln -s $i `basename $i .org`.txt
       done
     #+end_src
  
  Cheers -- Eric

    well, exporting to txt gives a better result for reading in other text
    editors, I should have mentioned that those files will be accessible by
    others who do not use Emacs...

    Just wanting to add a variant:
    
    1bis. teach Emacs that .txt means Org-mode:
    
    #+begin_src emacs-lisp
          (setq auto-mode-alist
                (append '(
                          ("\\.txt$" . org-mode)
                          ) auto-mode-alist))
    #+end_src

  Publishing provides a convenient way to export org files en masse:
  
  http://orgmode.org/manual/Publishing.html#Publishing
  
  You can publish as ascii by setting the publishing-function to
  org-publish-org-to-ascii.
  
  http://orgmode.org/manual/Publishing-action.html#Publishing-action
  
  Best,
  Matt
