My client would like to share user manuals for some products for their customers. These user manuals should not be linked to a spesific product (may also contain user manuals for outdated products), but offered as a search in file content and if there is a hit, display the files in a list. The amount of files are appx 400 at this point.

I've looked into whitepaper, but that is not what I want. At least not with the registration and subscription part.

Key features: file content search and/or file metadata search, display file list when there is a match. No registration required

Please advice.

Best wishes.

Hi Siv

You can use the file publishing module to publish list of files. If you are on a Rapido, find it here: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/rapido/configuration/creating-content/apps#sideNavTitle1-2

If not on Rapido find information here: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/documentation-9/content/apps/file-publishing-app

If you want to provide file based searches, you can implement a FileIndex:

https://doc.dynamicweb.com/documentation-9/platform/indexing-search/indexes#sideNavTitle1-2-4 or use the search weighted app: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/documentation-9/platform/indexing-search/search-weighted-app

If you want to index the contents of PDF files using the fileindex builder, that requires some coding. See this thread: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/forum/development/development/index-pdf-content
