PDF Search

• index pdf files that are referenced inside searched pages and must be locally (contao filesystem) stored
• parse pdf files with smalot/pdfparser
• make usage of meta information from tl_files to provide better file titles (consider language too)
• group the results in the result list
• select the search order (show pages first, show files first or by relenvance)

Usage

Install

Add following line to your composer.json required section:

"heimrichhannot/contao-search_plus" : "^1.0"

You can also add the package via commandline:

composer require heimrichhannot/contao-search_plus

Templates

You need to add two templates: mod_search_simple and mod_search_advanced. In your mod_search template you need to add <?php echo $this->form ?> to output the correct search form template. No needed anymore for contao 4.x from version 1.2.

Settings

You can disable PDF search on the Contao setting page. If enabled, an option to set the maximum pdf size to parse, is given.
