I'm trying to create a library of PDF and Word documents for my Drupal site. The WebFM module looks great as far as organizing and arranging the documents. How about searching inside the documents? Will WebFM support this capability?

Unfortunately no. I do not believe that drupal search is capable of doing this either. The one search tool that I know that can do this is mnogo.

A couple of modules could dig into txt, doc or pdf documents.
Most famous one is Swish-e Indexer:
http://drupal.org/project/swish

But "search_attachments" looks simpler and I hope will be migrated to 5.x really soon:

http://drupal.org/project/search_attachments

A promising SoC called Unified Document Management is also concerned about this issue:

You can also find new drupal.groups dedicated to DMS that I expect will release a drupal profile soon.
DMS with Drupal is a hot subject right now... so somebody will develop something nice during this summer vacations.

I missed to say that I posted it here, as a reference for webFM developer(s) just in case you/they think this feature need to be included in future releases.
