 * Is there any kind of built in search functionality? I want visitors to be able
   to search documents only (using document title / categories / file info)?
    thanks

 * Did you create a download page? [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-downloadmanager/installation/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-downloadmanager/installation/)(
   scroll down) and update WP-Admin -> Download -> Download Options with the page
   URL?
