I am facing a tricky problem and would love any help. Right now we have users creating nodes with many CCK fields and a search that uses Views exposed filters to search those nodes. All good so far, except now they're uploading files (using CCK FileField) and want to be able to search the file content in the same View.
To do the Views-based search, currently we're using the "Search: Search Terms" exposed filter which hooks into Drupal's core search. I found http://drupal.org/project/search_files and http://drupal.org/project/search_by_page and *AM* successfully indexing the PDFs and text files. Trouble is -- these modules don't hook into Drupal's core search, but instead provide a separate tab. This means they don't work with the "Search: Search Terms" filter.
Does anyone know how to do this, or have ideas on alternative approaches?
