Searching documents in WP-Filebase

    Hello,

    We just installed the plug-in, activated it and it doesn’t seem to work… The WP site (3.9.1. version) is used as an internal documentary database (accessible through the company’s servers only), most of the contents are pdf files. This library is growing quite fast so our users really need to be able to search inside the documents to find the appropriate information and download the right file.
    So, there’s the will… I hope you know the way! 😉

    Thank you for your time.

    Hey,

    thanks for reaching out!
    Unfortunately we don’t know the way, sorry – although our plugin can search for attachments on your blog, it cannot index & search through your PDF files.

    But we still believe there’s an option to get your PDF’s content searchable — try to copy & paste the content of your PDF file into the custom field box, when editing that particular blog post where you attached that file. This way, our plugin should be able to search for/through the content of your file via the custom field option. Not very handy, we agree but as far as we have been able to test it on our end — it works.

    The other option is to install the following plugin, which certainly does claim that it can index your PDF files and make them searchable. Here’s the link: https://searchwp.com/

    Sorry for not being more helpful, take care and have a nice day,
    Petra
