 * Hi,
    I am using Search and Filter to create a page to allow end-users to search.
   How can they search by document name, please?
 * Thank you & regards,
    Koh, Kah Huat

 * Hi Koh, Kah Huat,
 * Document Gallery cannot implement what you want, however it would be a good solution
   for the solution portion of your requirements. You would need to implement the`
   search` part yourself, but, once matching attachments are identified, the display
   portion can simply invoke [`do_shortcode`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/)
   using the DG shortcode and passing in the matched attachemts to DG’s `ids` field.
 * Functionality similar to this is exactly what I originally created this plugin
   for many years ago now so definitely possible 🙂
