Search results with multiple files in a document

Open cwldev opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hi All, Hopefully, someone can help me understand this.

I have a "document" in my Teedy instance that has several PDF files in it. This is fine and these files are text OCRd: image

However, when I search the entire database, the search results show an excerpt of the text I was looking for, but there is no clear indication of what PDF that text is in. Clicking on the result goes to the document but doesn't highlight, open, or indicate what PDF file that result was found in.

This is also the same in the online demo. Even more, if there were two PDFs in a "document" that yielded search results, Teedy probably wouldn't distinguish. Is the design of this tool was only ever to have one text-based file in each "document" even though you can add more? Had anyone else seen this or can shed some light on how they handled it? The "document" I have with 136 PDFs would, at this point be impossible to usefully search and find.

hi. this is bugging me for a long time ago too. there is no gui solution available. you could perform some sql statement for this but that's not a good way. teedy needs to be extended by such a feature. we would need some "in-document" full-text search field or some highlighting
