Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WebEquipe PDF Search

Standard, text-based PDFs (e.g., exported from Word or Google Docs) are fully supported. Default max size is 50MB (up to 500MB in settings). Scanned or image-only PDFs with no extractable text are marked Error in the free plugin. To index these, use WebEquipe PDF Search Pro for built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR), or run OCR software externally before uploading. Password-protected PDFs cannot be indexed. Mixed PDFs (some text pages, some image-only) index with a warning; search uses the text pages only.

Not in the free version. Scanned PDFs are read by search engines as flat images with no extractable text—the free plugin flags them as an Error. WebEquipe PDF Search Pro (Starter plan and above) integrates advanced Cloud Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to scan text from images automatically on upload. No pre-processing or external software needed. See Pro plans →

Not in the free version. The free plugin's Exclude feature keeps PDFs out of search entirely, but cannot show them dynamically based on user status. Private PDF Search is available on Pro and Agency plans—mark any PDF as Private and it becomes invisible in search for logged-out visitors while remaining fully searchable for logged-in members. See Pro plans →

Not in the free version. The Analytics Dashboard—showing top search queries, zero-result searches, and most-clicked PDFs—is available on Pro and Agency plans. Zero-result queries show you exactly what content visitors need but can't find. See Pro plans →

Yes. WebEquipe PDF Search Pro adds native Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for scanned PDFs, Private PDF search filters for logged-in users, an integrated Analytics dashboard, advanced search weights, white-label mode (Agency), and more. View plans and pricing →

Ensure they are indexed: in Media → Library, check the "Search Indexed" column (green check = indexed; Error or Not Indexed need action). If not indexed, use Index on the PDF, bulk Index PDFs, or Re-index All PDFs from PDF Search → Dashboard or Index Activity. Ensure Enable Search Integration is on in PDF Search → Settings for normal site search. The shortcode works even when this is off. Confirm the PDF is not Excluded.

Use Exclude on the PDF (Media Library or PDF Search → Manage PDFs). Excluded PDFs are never indexed and never appear in search, even after Re-index All PDFs. Use Include, then Index, to allow indexing again. To keep a PDF indexed but hidden from logged-out visitors only (e.g., for member resources), use Private PDF Search available on Pro and Agency plans. See Pro plans →

Unindex – Removes the PDF from search for now. You can index it again anytime (e.g. Index or Re-index All PDFs). Exclude – Keeps the PDF out of indexing until you clear it. Re-index All PDFs and bulk Index PDFs skip excluded PDFs. Use for private or sensitive files. Include – Clears the exclude flag so the PDF can be indexed again. You still need to run Index or Index PDFs after including.

Media Library: Select the PDFs → Bulk Actions → "Index PDFs" (or "Unindex"/"Exclude"/"Include") → Apply. Manage PDFs: Go to PDF Search → Manage PDFs → Scan PDFs → select PDFs → choose bulk action → Apply. You can also filter by status (Indexed, Not Indexed, Excluded, Errors).

Default is 50MB. You can raise it (up to 500MB) in PDF Search → Settings → Maximum File Size.
