Thread:Project:Support desk/Is it possible to search within attached documents?/reply

While Extension:FileIndexer claims to be able to, but it appears to have quite a few issues, so I can't reccomend it.

21061 is the bug to make uploaded files searchable in core. Its one of those long-term we-really-should-do-it-but-is-rather-low-priority-so-no-one-ever-does issues (in my opinion anyways).
