Searching for uploaded files(PDFs with keywords)

If you’re using regular documents instead of weblinks, AS will find it. But of course, clicking on a search result will first display the html-page, not link directly to the PDF. You could insert a redirect though (meta-tag or JS).

You could use a weblink if you use TVs for the keywords and then search the TVs.

^ that’s what I tried, but AS didn’t find anything...

0.9.6.3 rev 4565
AS 1.8.1

will try all your suggestions, failure of which could mean a snippet.

thank-you

By default AS don’t search in reference document. For that use the hideLink parameter (Search in content of type reference): &hideLink=`0`
