Correct… being able to search content within the attachments. To me, this is one of those features that is almost becoming a standard nowadays… and our users are beginning to expect this kind of functionality. We run multiple organization’s websites, and have been performing this kind of functionality for many years using the Microsoft Indexing Service. We have other sites that have switched to the Sitefinity CMS product, and this functionality was a must-have there as well. Gmail lets you do it as well across the the attachments you have saved in your account. It’s a tremendously valuable feature for those who provide and upload a lot of content within file attachments.
Anyways, please let me know if you reconsider, or if you do hear of a plugin that would be capable of doing something like this, I’m definitely interested!
