Indexing (searching) mDocs content

mdocs files do index in the default WordPress search, what exactly are you looking for.

Result in WordPress search will return on:

1. filename
2. name
3. owner
4. version

Sorry I should have emphasised: he really needs the content of the pdfs in the library to be included.
Thanks,
Phil.

Yeah no, that does not work.

Ok, thanks. I’ll give SearchWP a try and see how it goes.
Cheers,
Phil.

Just to round this off: SearchWP DOES index the content of pdfs stored within mDocs. The setup is a little obscure and the SearchWP documentation doesn’t make it very clear.

Once you’ve installed SearchWP plugin, go to Admin > Settings > SearchWP. > Add Post Type > Media
Set “Weight Transfer” to “transfer weight to parent”. This will ensure search results lead you to the familiar mDocs preview/description screen for the item.
Add Attribute > Document Content
Set “Content” to 50% (or whatever works for you) for:
Media > Document Content
Memphis Document Posts > Content
Pages > Content
Posts > Content

If you have any plugin running that locks the database (e.g. “MergeBot“), you’ll need to de-activate it while SearchWP is indexing or they get into “deadlock“.

Good luck!
Phil.
