Kentico CMS allows you to full-text search all documents in Kentico CMS repository. You can also configure it so that it searches the text inside uploaded documents, such as PDF, DOC or XLS documents. The configuration is described in Developer's Guide -> Installation and deployment -> Configuration of full-text search in files. It's not necessary to configure it at this moment since we will use only database search.
