Tom,

You can use https://our.umbraco.com/packages/backoffice-extensions/examinefileindexer/ it uses apache tika under the hood and will index office documents.

With regards to search are you looking to do combined search with content and media or just media? When you install the package it will create indexer and searcher for you and you can use that searcher but it will only be on the media.

If you want combined search you will have to look up how to do multi index search.

Regards

Ismail

OK that worked. YOU rock.

One more question.

Do you know if there is a way to extract PDF meta data into search engine? I would like to add PDF Title, Author, description, create date to indexer.

Thanks

Tom

It should by default extract it, check the index with Luke you should see all associated meta data.

Ismail

Thank you . It does. I appreciate your comments.

Got another question. I uploaded a pdf to my anonymous site and a different pdf to my secure site's media folder. On my secure site when users login using Active Directory and OWIN, I am not geting any search results for my new pdf document but I am getting search results for the pdf in question for the anonymous site.

Would you have any suggestions on why this is so? Note: I am using the following nuget packages. Cogworks.ExamineFileIndexer UmbracoCms.UmbracoExamine.PDF

Thanks
