The current scope of files collected for search indexing is limited. A quick test indicates that files are only collected for:
- Assignment additional files
- Folder files
- Forum post attachment
- File attachment
It would be good if files added to activity and resource text areas, i.e. descriptions were also able to be indexed. The use case here is if in a description for an activity there is a file added that contains more information about the activity. It would an advantage to be able to search this content as well. It would also allow search engine plugins to be able to index non text files such as images.
