[Plugin: Search Everything] Search doesn’t find text in attachment

  • I’ve installed Search Everything because we need to search text inside of attachments. I created a Word document in the Media library and attached it to a post (I assume this is what is meant by “search every attachment”).

    When I try to search on text present in the document, it doesn’t find it. It also won’t find text from the media caption or description.

    I’ve got the following options selected: Search every page, tag name, category name and description, comment, excerpt, and attachment.

    Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? Does it really search arbitrary attachments?

  • Hello,

    “search every attachment” option means that it search into the attachment name, not into attachment itself.

    In order to search into your MsWord document, plugin would have to open it, and “understand” the MsWord document format.

    This format is a Microsoft company property, we would have to pay licence fees to be able to do it.

    As we provide the plugin for free, we cannot do that sorry.

    Regards,
    Eric
