Relevance Search within file contents

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

We keep a number of resumes in file fields in a custom entity, and we really need to be able to search within the resumes for key words that might not be found anywhere else.

 

Please improve Relevance Search to be able to search within a file's contents, especially for .pdf and .docx files. This would tremendously improve Dataverse's usefulness for knowledge management!

    Hi @Anonymous 

    I am requiring the same functionality of Dataverse search with file contents for one of the applications

    Were you able to achieve it ?

    Is this issue resolved? Docs says it's possible but could not find a way for this

    Currently, file (PDF and Word) Dataverse search is only supported via V2 Web API and requires you to explicitly send that request.  It is not yet available within model-driven apps with global search (top search) and with OOB System/Personal views, grids or lookups.

    I submitted the feature request here and MS is aware of this: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/Ability-to-search-for-files-stored-in-Dataverse-File-Data-Types/idi-p/1761909#M37051

     

    Hope this clarifies!
