WP-Filebase Pro indexes supported documents and enable search of the content. It’ll scan the whole file content in stable and efficient way, so any keyword on any document page will get recognized.

The search index is updated on rescan. You can see the extracted keyword below the form when editing a file.
Hi,
thanks for the job done.
Is WPFP indexing the “content” of documents also, including pdf files? (Or simply Titles, tags, etc.)
Is he relying on the traditionnal WP Search engine or bringing WPFP improvement to it?
Best regards.
Hi,
yes, WP-Filebase scans the whole file. Its like converting the PDF file to a plain text file and then extracting all the keywords from this text. It’ll find any keyword on any page.
However, it does not show any details about the context or page number of the match occurence, like Google results does (e.g. the whole sentence).
Is there a specific way that PDFs need to be processed in order to be searchable? I’ve noticed (with the Pro version) I can search for a text string and some PDFs will be returned in the search results but others will not despite having that text string. They’re all text PDFs (not images)…
You need at least Ghostscript 9.05, I added this to the table above.
Hi,
I have the PRO version installed. When I search for any text which can be found in a .pdf file, it won’t show up. Am I doing something wrong?

What does “The search index is updated on rescan” mean?
Can I trigger a rescan?
Ghostscript 9.06 is installed, the link to the executable is saved in settings without error message but still neither thumbnails nor full-text indexing works.
?
I found the rescan. Thumbnails work but full-text index of digital, unprotected pdfs still does not work.
What is wrong when the WP-Filebase Pro Search Widget finds only PDFs with the search term in the filename not in the PDF-content?
