  1. I use the jdownloads plugin in articles like this {jd_file onlinelayout==default layout} {jd_file file==24} I noticed that my content only become searchable when i do 2. So NEVER disable 'type' 'jdownloads' in 'Smart Search: Content Maps' else you have open and save every article on your site to have indexed again.

  2. Indexing jdownloads tags in an article only happens in the frontend.

I know that this project isn`t active but i think it is nice to know for user and developers what the current problems are.

I think can work with the plugin as is but it is a shame that jdownloads doesn`t support this joomla basic component.

As a work around (and better solution) i replaced

/plugins/finder/jdownloads/jdownloads.php line 148 ->select('a.published as state, a.cat_id, a.description as summary')

->select('a.published as state, a.cat_id, a.custom_field_13 as summary') I have copy paste al the content of a document in 'custom_field_13' this way i can search in it. Without making a article with the plugin code which includes a layout with field 'custom_field_13'

probably you can also use a concat if you want the description field also still searchable by smartsearch

The upcoming jDownloads series 3.9 will have an own smart search plugin.
