I agree.
i wrote a small plugin that puts content of uploaded documents, into metadata.
then search everything can at least search *almost* everything 🙂
I was amazed that there was no plugin that allows indexing and searching of uploaded file contents.
so i wrote one: http://avatari.net/public/wordpress/masala/
I may clean it up and submit to official WordPress plugin directory – but meanwhile, as it works well enough to use at work, i’m sharing here.
yes, despite the promising title ‘search everything’
along with the ‘search every attachment’ option
this plugin does not appear to, in fact, ‘search everything’.
no attachment is indexed. not PDF, DOC, even text – nope.
i looked in the sourcecode, and there is no method that would actually open up a file, and search for the text in that file.
moving along…
