Searching contents of Attachments in salesforce

Posted by Kumar on January 4, 2017 at 1:46 PM

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to search attachments that are uploaded to standard Attachment records, attachments only show up in global search if you search by the document name.

Is it possible to search the content of the attachment?

If it is not possible to search an attachment uploaded out of the box then is that possible to do using apex?

Any replies are welcome.Thnaks

Hi kumar,

If you upload a document as a “file” (this is store as Chatter>Files>Document Name) the content becomes searchable. However this file cannot be linked to a contact record.

you can implement this by the help of triggers for more check https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/ForumsMain?id=906F0000000AaMqIAK

Hape it may helps
