Full text search not returning assets

I have pdf files that are uploaded to the asset manager and I want to be able to search on them using the episerver full text search functionality. I am building off of the Alloy MVC sample project.

I added these content references (SiteDefinition.Current.ContentAssetsRoot, SiteDefinition.Current.SiteAssetsRoot, SiteDefinition.Current.GlobalAssetsRoot) to the call the Search in the SearchPageController.

The class that represents pdf files extends MediaData so it should match the query in the SearchService.

The only guess I have is that the assets are not being indexed. I did rebuild the index but I don't know how to ensuer that the index includes media.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You can try to install the Adobe iFilter 9 and Adobe Reader 9.5.0 svenska version. In most cases these works fine to index pdf files. Also please don't forget to add bin folder's path of iFilter installation "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe PDF iFilter 9 for 64-bit platforms\bin" to PATH in system environments in the environment variables ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/9.x/ here you can find the iFilter 9 and also you can find Adobe reader 9.5.0 from this ftp address too.

Sorry. Let me clarify. I am not trying to search for the contents within the pdf, just the episerver properties of the media content like Name.
