Description

FAL has introduced a mechanism to register indexers. This is typically intended to allow 3rd party extensions to populate FAL metadata.

However this is not compatible with our concept of "services" available since ages in TYPO3 and used by indexed_search to extract text and metadata.

DAM (let's remember that it is FAL's father in some way) back then relied on this mechanism to extract metadata from files.

Instead of keeping our reinvented wheel, we should get rid of it ASAP and use TYPO3 services instead.

TYPO3 services are described here: http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/Typo3ServicesReference/ and metadata extraction has already been implemented for many file format in the famous cc_meta* extensions (then replaced by svmetaextract) as well as (at least) tika.
