Search results not showing PDF content was created by P.L.
Hello,
Your plugin rocks!
but I have a problem...
I installed and activated :
- EDocman - Indexer plugin
- Search - EDocman
I added some PDF and "Indexed content" worked well.
Here are my questions:
1. is there a way to create "Indexed content" for all files in one shot? I have thousands files...
2. when I search for a word, the results show the text for articles but not for PDFs... It only show "title", "(Documents)" but no text at all...
Your search engine finds the PDFs containing the word but doesn't show their content with the highlighted word like it is shown on your demo site : joomdonationdemo.com/edocman/index.php/i...hphrase=all&limit=20
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1. If you want to have option to index all documents, you can use the add-on PDF Indexer here: www.joomdonation.com/joomla-extensions/joomla-pdf-indexer.html
2. The Search result will only show Title of documents, it won't show content of PDF files in Search result.
Thanks
Dam

Bought the PDF Indexer sold separately. Works perfectly.
Looks like extension with Linux are case sensitive. Have a mixture of pdf and PDF... setup config to index pdf|PDF

Hi Siptec,
Yep, i think you can add both file extensions: pdf and PDF to make sure the indexing function to work properly.
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for your reply but I am still blocked...
1. I bought the indexer now, but it still doesn't autoindex all the pdf when bulk import in edocman... How works the edocman/indexer integration?
2. I bought edocman because on the demo site the PDF contents are shown on search results... I just would like to have what was in your commercial advert ...
Please help,
PL

Hi,
1. PDF Indexer is used to index all documents in specific folder, it also can be used to index all documents of Edocman. In PDF Indexer Configuration, you can select option to integrate with Edocman extension.
2. PDF Contents will not show on Search result.
Thanks
