Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
Does v7 index attachment's content? I've attached csv and pdf file to customers and can see their content when I go to Knowledge Center-Documents. When I search for text within the file nothing is found.
Is there a specific search prefix I need to enter when searching for files and their content?
I updated OpenERP v7 today to the latest and it looks like the indexing is working now. at least it is from the Knowledge module. Does anyone know if I can search indexed content from other modules as well?
Yes, OpenERP indexes documents. According to the documentation: Supported File Formats
The OpenERP document management system can index the following file formats:
TXT : text files,
PDF : PDF files,
SXW : OpenOffice V1 files,
ODT : OpenOffice V2 files,
DOC : Microsoft Word files.
if you do not know where a specific document can be found, OpenERP also has a search tool integrated into its document management to simplify your search. To search for a file, use the menu Knowledge ⣠Documents ⣠Documents. You get to a document search view that lets you search amongst all the attachments and all the documents in the FTP server.
I do not know if search supports wildcards or not, maybe you can try it out.
Thanks for the assistance. I see where the files are and their file names,but I would like to search within the file. When type a word that is within the pdf I would like to see where and which file contains it. Maybe it only indexes the file names and not their content??
I can't get it working in 6.1 also. I have somewhere seen you need to install some extra software. But I didn't test it. I have written more details in my own post which I posted earlier with this question:
"How to automatic index in document management?"
