Searching for files

Permalink
Hi guys,

I have a Forms page with a list of links, pointing to a number of different files (.pdf .doc etc). Eg: One of the links is named 'Recycling 2009' and this points to the file 'Recycling_2009.pdf'.

The PDF was uploaded through the dashboard.

Now if I search for "recycling" I get a result pointing to the Forms page which is correct. No problems there.

However, what I would like is for the search results to return a link directly to 'Recycling_2009.pdf' as well.

Ideally it would be great to be able to search for a whole range of file types. Is this possible with the built-in search function?

Cheers
CM

Just a polite bump... any ideas on this one?

Thanks

No. it is not.

With the new file manager we're working on it will be more feasible to do that. sadly today you'd have to code something by hand.

new file manager is a few weeks out

It's not a massive issue for us right now, it's just one of those things that would be nice to have.

Anyways, I'm definitely looking forward to future updates!

Thanks again for your help.

is this functionality included in C5.4.1.1?

I have a client that wants a bunch of PDFs to be searchable... and I think searchable by keyword, too. So, I think she would also like to be able to tag the files. If not, then simply being able to search the files would be a big step in the right direction.

Thanks,
