Yes, my hope was to use the standard WP search widget - but I haven't explored any other option. If there's a better way I'm happy to get guidance 
My site has been recently re-created in WordPress after quite a few years of running under Joomla and that Joomla installation had a free plugin called jiFiles (?) which did the document scanning/indexing. A standard search, scoped on file name or a string from within file content, would pull up a list of file names each hyperlinked to the file itself to easily click on for in-browser viewing (or possibly downloading).
I appreciate that there are other WordPress plugins that offer a full document management system but they have a much larger feature set than I need and are also majorly expensive for a small non-profit community web site.

Yes, you can do this via CSS, either by adding a new rule to your Theme custom CSS block, or you can use WPFTS Settings / Search &amp; Output / Display / Smart Excerpts CSS editor block.
I hope it's .widget.widget-search rule, you can set 'width: 100%' to extend widget's width to all available room.


The plugin is growing, but we have not yet a powerful system to make customized search widgets. What I can propose to you is (depending on your PHP/WP knowledge): there is a file  /includes/widgets/wpfts_widget.class.php which is actually a native WP search widget with some changes for Live Search functionality.
I would recommend you to copy this file to your child theme and create your own widget (by adding a select input to existing code). In case you think your knowledge of PHP is not that good,  I can gladly help you, but you need to explain to me what exactly you need.


Yes, it's possible via the small code addition. Do you want to show a path to the file instead of the file title? Or it should be an additional line in the search result item? Do you think showing a local path to the file is OKAY and maybe it's better to show Category instead?


As I can see they are highlighted (bolded) but you can change this again in the Smart Excerpts CSS block. For example, this rule will make found words RED and YELLOW highlighted.


.wpfts-result-item .wpfts-smart-excerpt b {	
	/* Excerpt text */
	color: red;
	background-color: #ff3;
}

Thanks.

WPFTS Pro can search these images by the description then.
Alternatively, you can create a special post type and upload images as "Featured Image" to each of these posts, and put the description and special information to the post_content or additional meta field(s)  - depending on the number of data fields and type of information.
In both cases, WPFTS Pro will help you with the search.
