One would want to have a bunch of text in a PDF searchable if one was working on a site that contains hundreds of medical journals in PDF form. That is how they are distributed, and it would be ridiculous, and also not economically feasible, to pull all of the content out of all of them.
Why is there no WP solution to searching PDFs? Other search engines are able to do so.
It’s extremely frustrating. The site is built, and now I find out that all of their past issues can’t be searched?
