Has anyone ever found a solution for indexing file contents in the file cabinet? We want to be able to search for text within a document's contents.

What format are the files you want to search in?

Mostly PDF

Thought that might be the answer. I've created a script in the past to find keywords within text files using a global search by file type, then loading matched file contents and searching for values. It would probably be possible to extend the same principle with a pdf parsing library, but if it was something to be used regularly, you'd probably want to save parsed text into custom records for speed and the whole thing then becomes much more complex.

Ok thanks for the ideas! Appreciate your help
