The plugin was developed to provide a search field for text search in Moodle books with image-based slides. The plugin requires that a PDF of (almost) the same name is present in the same course section. The pages of the PDF need to correspond 1-1 to the pages in the book. Names of book and PDF need to be identical, except for text specified in brackets inside their names.

The plugin searches all PDFs for the text and then displays the search results as a list of links. Clicking on a link shows the respective page with the corresponding number inside the book.

The search function is available if a corresponding block is configured (see below). Alternatively, the function may be reached using a web service. The configuration of the web service is also described below.

More details on functionality and configuration of this plugin can be found in the Wiki.
