Search for attachments by name broken

[altenbach]

It seems the names of attachments don't get indexed and thus we cannot search for messages that contain an attachment of a certain name.

(On the advanced search page, there is a checkbox to search attachments, but I guess this is something else.)

Many times I know the filename of an example Vi or image that I have attached, but it seems impossible to find the post that contains it. This would be useful to have. Thanks!

For example, if I enter ColorRampII.png as search term, I would like the search to return the following message:

Hi Altenbach,

The attachment search functionality searches inside of text attachments like Word, text files, and PDFs.  I can see how searching for the name of an attachment would be beneficial - I'll submit the suggestion to Lithium.

Thanks!
