 * Hi,
    I am using Download monitor because I am really satisfied with it. Also,
   on several other projects, I used to search for searching files and PDFs on the
   website.
 * Right now, I have a problem with that I can not figure out what is the problem.
   Simply search is not showing results for a particular PDF or file. Downloads 
   are not included in the site’s internal search results. All the time that option
   is enabled in settings.
 * I am running a website on localhost so unfortunately, I can not show you a site.
   
   Please help.

 * Hey Viktor,
 * I assume this is resolved based on your last direct email. I’ll close this here.
 * For other users facing the same issue, it would be kind of you to share the solution.

 * That was different! That problem was caused by Polylang, that plugin had some
   kind of conflict with Download monitor. I simply find another plugin for a multilingual
   site.

 * My site uses Download Monitor to store about 200 PDFs on password protected pages
   for subscribers. Password protected pages are divided into sections such as Classroom
   Lessons, Military, College Lessons, etc. Subscribers are requesting “search” 
   feature to call up the PDF by title of a lesson they are lookng for, or to call
   up PDFs related to a subject (such as job interview). I am confused reading about
   the “search” plug ins for Word Press. My only need is for subscribers to the 
   website to search for PDFs by: 1) Title of PDF, and 2) Tags I give to that PDF
   on its Download Monitor page. I do not need any other information on the website
   to be included in the “search” plug in. What search plug ins will do this?? I
   am definitely not technical, so need search plug in that I can understand how
   to operate in the dashboard to set up and maintain for subscribers. Thank you
   for suggestions!
