Kentico CMS allows you to full-text search files uploaded into database. It uses standard Microsoft SQL Server Search Engine that allows you to index a wide variety of files. This chapter explains how you can configure your installation of Kentico CMS for search in files.
Prerequisites - Important!
If you're using Microsoft SQL Server 2005, you need to ensure that full-text search support is installed on the server. The full-text search is available for all editions of Microsoft SQL Server 2005, including Express Edition with Advanced Services.

Supported file types
The standard full-text search engine delivered with Microsoft SQL Server can search TXT, HTML, DOC, XLS and PPT files.
