liam665 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Site URL: http://www.granvillehistory.org/ Hi, I run the website for our local historical society, and we have uploaded OCR-ed PDFs of our quarterly journal. I would love to make those PDFs searchable through the SquareSpace search block so that people can find the issues they are interested in, but it seems that the search block will only find content on pages, not on linked/uploaded files. Is there a way to do this or a work-around that someone can suggest? Thanks, --Bill Link to comment
Guest Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Squarespace search is basic and doesn't do this. The only way to do this is to use a third party search service. Link to comment
liam665 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Thanks for your reply. Such are the joys of SquareSpace, I suppose: the big things are usually drop-dead simple and easy, while the smaller details and special cases can often be literally impossible. I appreciate your responding! Link to comment
MaggieTM Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Me too! I would like to create a searchable OCR-rendered pdf library in squarespace. Which 3rd party search services would work with SS? Link to comment
