How to search a word in an attachment?

Hi,

How do I search a word in an attachment?

The work I did on this issue is

1.Created the FT Index with the option “Index attached files” and with the option “with filters”.

So the database is full-text indexed ,but

when I try to search a word inside the attachment,I get no results although there are results…

Please suggest me whether I am missing any setting…because this same thing works for the local database and does not work for the database on the server…

thanks in advance

What type of attachment are you trying to index? If you know the version of the attachment (e.g. PDF 1.5), that would be helpful.

It’s hard to say what the problem might be. What happens if you copy the local database to a server and index it? Can you search the attachments in that scenario? A text file shouldn’t need a filter, so try creating the index without a filter to see if that changes anything.
