avpadernoHello, and thanks for applying for a CVS account.
As per requirements, the proposed module must be better described, and compared with the existing solutions. The archive containing the code needs to be uploaded in a comment here.

hannanxp commentedOk, lets start,
Some week ago, I have made sites that need to searching file content. The file it self is attached on the nodes, using upload module.
First, i looking at drupal project page, and I found the closest that i need is "Search attachments" (http://drupal.org/project/search_attachments).
But unfortunately, that module is no longer supported as it has been combined with Search Files.
So I decide to look at "Search Files" (http://drupal.org/project/search_files).
Sadly, search_files is buggy, you can see here: http://drupal.org/node/340013
So, i decide to write new module, based on search_files.
Some reason that I decide to write new module are:
1. search_files is looking all files on the server, but i just need to search attacment files. search_attachments may done for me, but as we know, there are no drupal 6.x version. the search_attachments author says that it will be submodule of search_files, but i dont get any chunk of that code that i need.
2. search_files is using cron job to examine "all" directories, and i think it take very big effort. i put it on separate process, and limited just for 'new' n files.
Ok, you can review my code here..
Thnx.

avpadernoThanks for your reply.
As reported from the requirements, the proposed project must not duplicate the work done in existing projects (which doesn't mean only duplicating code).
As reported in http://drupal.org/node/539608

hannanxp commentedOk, thanks for your suggestion

sreynen commentedhannanxp, you should propose changes to the existing search_files module before creating a new module. #797404: Exclude attachment types seems related issue to your first point.
