Search (Smart Search)

The plugin Smart Search - Fileshelf adds downloads to the site search (Smart Search). It
finds title, description, file name – including its parts, so 
price-list-2026.pdf is found
under “price” –, version and tags.
  
  
The search finds the download by title, file name or tag.
Setting up
  
Check that the plugins Smart Search - Fileshelf and Content - Smart
  Search are enabled.
  
Open Components → Smart Search and click Index once, so that existing
  downloads are added.
From then on Fileshelf keeps the index up to date itself: when a download is saved, published,
unpublished or deleted, and when the access level or status of a category changes.
Who finds what
The search only shows a visitor downloads whose access level – and that of the main category – they have.
Password-protected downloads are found; the file still comes only after the password.
Type, category (additional ones included), author, tag and language are available as search filters.
