The indexers disregard files that aren't text/plain.  This logic is 
duplicated in each indexer.  (The back-ends call the indexers for all 
files, whether or not they will be indexed, and make sure to use 
errors='ignore' when decoding the files as UTF-8 for Python 3.  This logic 
is duplicated in back_anydbm.py and rdbms_common.py, with at most small 
differences, like quite a lot of back-end logic.)
