 * Hi, just taking this info from your FAQ it says to ask if there are workarounds
   to search pdf files within a site. I’d like to ask what your workaround is to
   get it to search binary files?
 * It doesn’t search in my PDF/Word/Excel attachments
    We know, this is not a bug.
   It’s not that easy to search through binary files. Anyway, if there’s a will,
   there’s a way. Just ask us for a workaround and we’ll gladly help.
