This would be great. I have an app that submits to FB via the xml API. I'm soon changing it to create an attachment for most of the submission. For various reasons I would love to be able to search the contents of the attachments. – squillman Feb 11 2010 at 21:34

Currently, FogBugz does not index the text in attachments, even text-only attachments.

Due to concerns about memory usage, we are not planning this enhancement in the foreseeable future.

Esp since attachments are stored in the db... I would like the following attachments indexed:

text pdf doc

That is most of what we would be looking for.
