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

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
