    Vipul,

    apparantly you have very specific needs for search-functionality. Currently there are a few quite good packages available which provide search-functionality.

    Being able to search pdf-files and doc-files is dependant of the software installed on the server and can never work OOB in umbraco. If that (3rd-party) software isn't installed on the server, then it simply wont work. Embedding that software into umbraco is not an option since not many providers allow users to install their own software.

    From what I understood in an earlier post, I think umbSearch2 would pretty much suit your needs. If it doesn't, why don't you contact the creators (Axendo) and try to get your needs embedded in the package (and thus be beneficial for others as well)?

    If you can't work it out, well, I guess you have to create a package yourself (but from what I've read you're not into that) or find another CMS that does provide your (very specific) needs OOB.

    Hope this helps,

    Peter

    Can people please use the search on the forum. The topic of searching in Umbraco comes up very regularly and there are quite a few good responses.

    Umbraco 4.1 will have a good Lucene.NET indexer, which I'm sure there are PDF and Office plugins available for.
