Search attachments

search_attachments.module allows searching the text of PDF, MS Word, plain text, and other types of files attached to nodes. In order to extract the text from attached files, this module calls 'helper apps' such as cat and pdftotext. Drupal administrators can configure any helpers they like.

This module is no longer supported as it has been combined with Search Files. Please refer to the Search Files module which now includes the Search Attachments module.

Drupal 5 Feel free to download this module for use on Drupal 5, however. The issue cue for this module is not moderated. Therefore, if you experience issues with the 5.x version of this module, please submit a feature request to the Search Files issue cue for porting Search Files version 2 to Drupal 5.
