How to allow search engines to search through PDF file attached to my site

Post by Zenith-nova » Mon Jun 27, 2022 8:23 am

On my Joomla 3 website, I'm using smart search. there are articles which contains PDF files. When I try to search the article, the title did appear however, we can't read the pdf when we click the search result.

Here is the sample site for your easy reference:
please try to search (agm) and click the first one.
https://kps.com.my/index.php/search?sea ... l&limit=20

Any idea on how we can make search engine open an attached PDF files?

Joomla can't index PDF files, you will need an extension for that: https://extensions.joomla.org/instant-s ... ndex%20pdf

I haven't tested all extensions, so I can't give you a recommendation
