Searching attachments in TheBrain

I don’t use this feature, so can’t comment on how well it works over time. I just ran a quick test and found that the search feature did come up with the word I searched on within an Excel file that is stored internally.

The file search only works on files stored internally within TheBrain. If you have just a link to an external file, it won’t find the text, and doesn’t promise to. I don’t know if that might be the problem you’re dealing with.
