   Search in attachments
=====================

 This feature enables full-text searching within uploaded files such as PDFs, Word documents or Excel spreadsheets. The contents of the attachments are extracted during indexing and made searchable.
This allows users to search for specific terms within documents without having to open the files manually. The feature supports common file formats and can be extended to include further formats if required.
