Description
I'd like to be able to search within CCK filefield uploaded files (PDF, DOC, XLS). Is this possible now? If not, I'd like to submit it as a feature request. I'm assuming not since I don't see CCK mentioned in that way in the description.

This looks at files in a folder. So it can search the files folder and find anything there but not really a way to narrow down the search to just one field.
Thanks

So it should work searching on FileField if the files are in the files directory. But will it know what node the file is associated with?

I have looked at the module some but I am new to this module. 5.x-1.x and 6.x-1.x only scan folders and no way to tell the node info the file is attached to. 6.x-2.x supports scanning nodes but doesn't seem to have any setting options to limit the type of nodes to search or ways to narrow things down. So you could search and have it point at a node but there doesn't seem to be anyway to limit it to just a certain group or type.
Thanks
Robert

It is very funny, that this module doesn't work with FileFiled, as it is advertised on the filefield's page.

I rolled a patch against 6.x-2.0-beta4 to make this work with CCK filefield. You can find it here: http://drupal.org/node/409516#comment-2080274 . Thanks!
