Which you do while inserting document - and either do OCR then or just don't support image-only PDFs for search.

Even with this limitation, it would be improvement :)

PDF's can be OCRed in advantage and many scanners actually do that even without saying so.

So you've to search only in this part of document - you can identify those you can select individual text when opened in Reader (oposite to square-selection on those image-only).

Also, when you generate PDF from electronic documents, like MS Word, plain text version is usualy attached too.



And that's what I meant by "text based" :)

Thank you for feature request, we'll consider it. Though it's pretty complex task, as, for example, PDF is not really a text file, but a graphical file with vector coordinates of text. Searching in PDF file is always slow. Did you noticed how slow Adobe Reader is slow on searching text even within tiny document? That's because it has to "recognize" text by coordinates which exhausts CPU resources. Now imagine that need to search within hundreds of files, that would be never ending process. Oh course, we can cache text recognition results, but, will it will lead to great slowdowns on attaching files, and, especially on upgrades from older app versions.

I would like AMNO to support search inside attached documents. At least most commons ones like Office's files, PDFs (text based),...

I use it for storage of invoices, documents,.. and I would like to be able fulltext search inside them without having to copy all they contain inside note.
