Thank you for coming with this wonderful module.
I am able to get 6.x-1.6 working but not 6.x-2.x-dev

My question - why is there a need to include search_attachment ?
It seems to me that search_files can do everything search_attachment does.
Or am I missing something?

Thank you.

Hi cmgui,

as far as i understand it, (without having tested Search Files dev) is that search_attachments scans the attachments which are attached to a node whereas search files is scanning any given directory on the server.

The dev Version is combining these two approaches. Maybe therefore the search_attachment module is temporarily needed until it's out of dev.

Thank you sweenyy for the reply.

Somehow in my drupal setup, the file attachments to a node are uploaded to the same folder as file upload.
So there is no need for search_attachment in my case.
I am not going to use 6.x-2.x.
Going to use 6.x-1.x instead.

search_files is a great module. very useful. should be in Drupal core!

@cmgui, you were able to get this working with just search_files 1.x, no search_directories or search_attachments?

Please advise :)

hi charlie

i installed 6.x-1.6 and was able to search contents inside files inside a directory defined in the settings.

i have no luck with 6.2. Don't see the need for search_attachments since the attachment files are in the same directory I defined in the search file settings.

there is a need to search file titles though.

I don't know a thing about this module. Just installed it. But, when I saw the quesiton, my immediate response is that you want to be able to search attachments in the case where you want node access rights return. That is, if you have nodes posted that users do not have access to, you certainly don't want them to have access to the files attached to the nodes.

I guess here is as good a place as any to post the question: Does "search attachments" respect node access rights? That is, are access rights to nodes enforced when searching files?
