Hi
Could you explain a bit more please as I do not quite understand.  Are you wanting to search in jDownloads descriptions or titles or what?

Hi Colin
Thank you for your quick response.
I would like to search inside the pdf documents.
Something like the following extension.
https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/jifile
Thanks

Hi
jDownloads does not search in the contents of the downloadable files itself. But having just briefly read the JiFile documentation it would appear feasible to use a search tool as all the jD downloads start from a common directory (typically /yoursite/jdownloads) so if you set jdownloads as the JiFile "Filesystem path" then you could first checkout JiFile. The Area Name in the JiFile plugin could be set to say Downloads.  All the downloads are regular files as all the other parts associated with each Download are either in the database or stored as images, videos or audio files in other directories.

When you have that going OK then please come back and then we can look at seeing how to best fit into the jD Search function.
