I feel this should be mentioned here. PDFs and DOCs can be indexed and searched within DOCman documents. Please read my revived for PDF Indexer and do the necessary. Read my review at (http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,741/Itemid,35/#rev-29929)

I have gone through the review section and I am prompted to write this. This component works well with DOCman. To do this one has to install the Plugin (bot_docman_search_1.4.0rc2.zip) from http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/7085/24001/bot_docman_search_1.4.0rc2.zip.

This will enable the standard Joomla! Search to index DOCman documents. Next, follow the instructions on how to index PDFs through PDF Indexer from this page. Now everything will fall in place ...

**In fact I have disabled the standard 'DOCman Search' from my site, since it does not 'highlight' the search items.

This is a nice Module, but needs a few tweaks.

First, one has to create a MODULE POSITION. Some templates have a 5 and some have even 18-19 module positions. One has to identify a Module Position that is NOT LISTED. To do this one has to go through the index.php file and identify a module that is not LISTED. Which means it would be difficult to 'blindly' follow the instructions listed on top of this page. If TOP, INSET, or any Module is already listed in your template then these instructions won't work.

Secondly, each Template is coded differently for the functioning of a Module. Hence carefully go through the index.php and find out how each template is coded. [jdoc:include type="modules" name="module_name"] will not work always.

Sometimes it could be
[countModules( 'module_name' ) > 0) { ?>

]

Having tweaked the Module Positioning (as per the instructions given), it will be easy to make this Module work.

Nice for websites where REGISTRATION is required and important ...

This is a nice module for displaying the various Categories that are classified in DOCman.
Author please note: The 'Module Class Suffix' could have been included

I has installed o my website and it looks great. On a JP Epic Pro template it does not 'fold' the 'user' and 'inset' modules when you use Firefox. Nevertheless it is an absolute beauty.
