Attachments Searchable?

[JohnCourt]

I had an interesting question from a member of ours, he was asking why his attachments are not searchable. We understand you can go to "My Attachments" and filter and sort, but if you perform a search query in the search bar, it will not appear.

If he names his image "widget_repro" and uploads it to a topic. And if he does a search for "widget" it will not show up. Is this because our images folder on our server is secured? Why can't a member search for an image they uploaded?

Thanks for the schooling!

These are not searchable at present, unfortunately. Please feel free to post this as a suggestion if you wish to see this in the future. This is with the exception of images and their contents being searchable, which is available with automatic tagging on our cloud platform.

Got it Marc, thanks a heap!

@Marc Stridgen, do you have a page location that breaks down the difference between the cloud platform and self hosted? Like a column of sorts with checks marked off displaying what one gets with self hosted, and one gets with cloud hosted. Thank sir

I see this at: https://invisioncommunity.com/buy

But it doesn't really show the difference between cloud and self hosted.

There isnt really, however as far as the software is concerned, it's the same other than the following, which are part of the cloud service

• Real time whos viewing
• Real time whos typing
• Live topics (coming soon)
• Video Encoding (Coming February)
• AI Image Moderation
• AI Image Object Tagging
• Real time Trending and Historical

The cloud platform itself however, also means

• You dont have to deal with hosting
• Our back end platform is always kept up to date with things such as PHP versions etc. 
• You get access to all applications on our creator and above plans

In short, you think about your site, and we think about the rest.
