    PDF etc Site Search in Umbraco - How to...

    Hello,

    Can anyone help by pointing me in the right direction please?

    We're looking to implement a search on our website that is able to look into PDF documents in the media section as well as the document nodes under contents when a customer does a keyword search.

    I've seen Examine/Lucene and understand it comes out of the box in 4.5. I just don't honestly know where to get started with it...

    Any help would be hugely appreciated.

    Many thanks,
    Matt

    There's some videos on using Examine on Umbraco.tv (http://umbraco.org/help-and-support/video-tutorials/for-developers/examine) which is 19 Euro's per month (or there are other subscription options) and highly worthwhile getting.

    As for doing PDF indexing with Examine, there's a few threads on the forum about how to do it, a search will turn them up, but essentially it's just adding another indexer and searcher to your config.

    out of the box examine will create two indexes if you put the relevant config sections into the website one for content and one for pdf.  If you want todo combined search then see http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/13522-Examine-pdf-index-item-inject-into-content-index i have this implemented and it works.

    For information on setting up examine see http://examine.codeplex.com/  and http://farmcode.org/page/Umbraco-Examine.aspx 

     

    Regards

    Ismail
