Content search

I use in Joomla 4 the Edocman Search Module to search through pdf files. Now I want additionally search through the website content without indexing (speed is not an issue), using the same search area and button.
Please advice.

Hi,
You want to search documents through Joomla search tool, right?
Thanks

Yes, indeed. So the visitors see just one search field.

Hi,
If you are using Joomla4, you just need to publish the Joomla finder plugin: Edocman, and then, running indexing in Joomla Smart search component.
After that, at frontend, user can search through documents in Edocman normally.

As I was not satisfied with the result, I opened additionally the EDOCMAN search module and used the specific search area. I can find the uploaded and indexed pdf documents, but the search does not show the contents of the pdf documents. Please advice.

Hi,
In this case, please submit ticket on category: Edocman and provide your site url with super admin account. I will check the problem for you
Thanks

Your observation was fully correct and has been addressed. Thank you.
Is it possible also to include the Virtuemart 4 search results?

Hi,
I am confused with your question, could you please explain "Virtuemart 4"?
Thanks

On the website of the Historical Society there are a number of subjects which can be searched for: 1. Text in Articles for which we use the Joomla Smart Search, 2. Scanned articles in pdf format for which we use Edocman, 3. lots of collected images including explaining text, collected in Virtuemart Categories and Articles. Virtuemart is as well in transition from version 3 to 4. We are looking for one al encompassing Joomla 4 search solution.

We just can answer you all problems related to Edocman, so please let me know exactly problem you are having with Edocman.
Hope you understand.
