This seems to be an essential feature of any DMS. I am using Drupal and am searching for a secure way of managing documents with a text search. There are existing Drupal modules that provide the basic functionality but as with OpenDocMan only allow you to search an abstract/description.

hi guys, is there any time frame on this?
thank you! -

searching through documents is amongst the top three functionalities we are looking for. Without being able to search it's not usable for us.

I am satisfied searching document metadata only until OpenDocMan has matured further, as I suspect other smaller organizations will be. User interface improvements, searching UDF text, and LDAP authentiation are all much higher on my wish list. By the way, I believe KnowledgeTree uses OpenOffice (LibreOffice?) to extract document text for indexing and searching.

I looked at swish-e, installed it on my Ubuntu from Synaptic. That does look like a good search engine designed for integration with ODM to search any type of file.

Why not integrate Swish-e for this? Sounds like the perfect solution:

I'd like to see PDF, Word docs etc indexed with search functionality in OpenDocMan - to help you find the document you are looking for by content search, not just from MetaTags.

No, PDF/Word,etc. are stored in binary. There is not much plain text inside the files. There may be some php library for searching common file types though that might be a good candidate for implementing into opendocman.

Jono commented
could something like Grep search PDF's and then pass the info to Opendocman?

This would be a very good feature, but also a difficult feature
