Search Feature? and Description

    I am wanting to add a freeform search to the document library page to search the documents and return the found documents across all categories on the same page in the mdocs list interface. Have you had anyone do that or helped anyone do that in the past? I’d be happy to pay for example code or help making that work. Is that possible?

    Also I am trying to display the document description underneath the file name on each row per file on the front end but am not having much luck. I have tried these three ways to add that to the code but all produce no content.
    <?php mdocs_show_description($the_mdoc['id']); ?>
    <?php echo $the_mdoc['Description']; ?>
    <?php _e('Description','mdocs'); ?>

    Any thoughts on that? I also notice that in the admin when I click on the description option and it launches the window to display it is also blank. I can only see the content of the description when editing the file. Maybe related?

    Thanks in advance!

    Sounds like a bug, you should be able to see the description from the window, does this occur on the regular site as well?

    Any thoughts on what to try to fix the description? Also did you see the question about the search?

    its not an easy question to answer, it would take a great deal of work to get something like that running. I will add it to my feature list but can’t possible when it will be added.

    Are you open to getting paid to do that feature faster? I would be willing to pay you in advance if you think you could crank that out over the weekend? Thoughts?

    Also any ideas on what else to try to get the description to show up? I can’t seem to get it to work.

    Donations are always welcome, but I’m not going to do paid work. I will add your request to the list by I can’t give a timeline for completion.
