Overview

By having content from a variety of file types imported into CMS Builder and saved as plain text using the Convert to Text plugin that content can now be easily searchable.

Some example uses include a resume/job site where users upload their resumes. The resume files are scanned, saved as plain text and are now searchable by keywords.

Another example is any site that has PDFs of manuals or technical documents. Simply upload the file (pdf, doc, etc) and the content is now searchable by keyword. Users can now search by keyword find the PDF manual they are looking for and now view or download it.

Also convert existing uploads with one click to automatically scan all and save as plain text. Now all that content is keyword searchable.

Note: requires Java 7.0 which is available on most servers.
