[EP-tech] Re: Question about full text search (Documents in Advanced Search page)

[Michael Street]

Hi again,

Does anyone have any idea why these documents are not showing up in the 
search results?

Any suggestions would really be appreciated.  I'm at a loss as to why 
it's not returning results that clearly have the search term in the pdf 
(and the converted text document).
