Enabling attachment search for the SQL search

 

Perform the following steps if you wish to search attachments using the SQL search:

Note

 

The SQL search engine is obsolete. It is recommended to use the Smart search instead. In that case you only need to enable the Search in attachments property of the relevant smart search results web parts.

 

 

1. Sign in to Site Manager and go to Development -> Document types.

2. Edit the Root document type.

3. Open the Queries tab.

4. Edit the searchattachments query and uncomment the following part of the code:

 

SELECT View_CMS_Tree_Joined.*, View_CMS_Tree_Joined.NodeName AS SearchResultName

FROM CMS_Attachment INNER JOIN View_CMS_Tree_Joined

ON View_CMS_Tree_Joined.DocumentID = CMS_Attachment.AttachmentDocumentID

WHERE (##WHERE##) AND

(([AttachmentName] Like N'%'+ @Expression + N'%') OR ([AttachmentTitle] Like N'%'+ @Expression + N'%') OR ([AttachmentDescription] Like N'%'+ @Expression + N'%')) OR (FREETEXT(AttachmentBinary, @expression))

ORDER BY ##ORDERBY##
