It will only index the name of the attachment. * In last version we fixed a bug with the indexing of attachment. They now appear are results in the results pages, independently from the posts they belong to( if the checkbox “Attachment” was checked in the Index Settings). * Best regards, Alexandre * Thread Starter [oblamine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oblamine/) * (@oblamine) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/oss-pdf-problem/#post-5842847) * Hello, thanks for the update. now oss index attachments but when i search some keyword in pdf i have 0 result. * Plugin Contributor [AlexandreT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexandret/) * (@alexandret) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/oss-pdf-problem/#post-5842848) * Hello, * Yes, as I said in my previous post, this plugin is not able to extract the content of the attached files unfortunately. * This is a feature you could develop in your theme or in a custom plugin using the hooks provided by the plugin: [http://www.opensearchserver.com/documentation/plugins/wordpress.md](http://www.opensearchserver.com/documentation/plugins/wordpress.md) * You could rely on these APIs for example: [http://www.opensearchserver.com/documentation/api_v2/parsers/README.md](http://www.opensearchserver.com/documentation/api_v2/parsers/README.md) * Best regards, Alexandre * Plugin Contributor [AlexandreT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexandret/) * (@alexandret) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/oss-pdf-problem/#post-5842850) * Hi, * We are currently working on this new feature and will keep you informed as soon as it is available. * Regards, Alexandre * Plugin Contributor [AlexandreT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexandret/) * (@alexandret) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/oss-pdf-problem/#post-5842876) * Hi, * We were able to include Parser support in a new version of the plugin.

Thank you, Oussema * Plugin Contributor [AlexandreT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexandret/) * (@alexandret) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/oss-pdf-problem/#post-5842901) * Hi, * The plugin can not index comments. What do you mean exactly by FAQ fields? * You could however work on some custom PHP code to specifically index some more data using the hooks provided by the plugin. You could create some new fields in the schema of the index when the index is created, give those fields values when content is added or changed, etc. Please see this page: [http://www.opensearchserver.com/documentation/plugins/wordpress.md](http://www.opensearchserver.com/documentation/plugins/wordpress.md) * Regards, Alexandre * Thread Starter [oblamine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oblamine/) * (@oblamine) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/oss-pdf-problem/#post-5842902) * Hi, there are other search engine which index the content of FAQ plugins added to wordpress. can you give me, please, the name of the file in which i will add actions to add new field?
