WPFTS Not Recognising Columns in a PDF Document

Bugs and Fixes

    I noticed a peculiarity in the excerpt that appeared as a result of a search I did yesterday.
    When I searched the pdf concerned using my PDF Editor Program, it found four instances of the search term. Dragging my pointer over the text confirmed that the OCR has correctly picked up the two-column layout of the document.
    The excerpt in the WPFTS search results contained two sentences, from the second and third occurrences of the search, so it hadn't generated an excerpt from, particularly, the first occurrence. Is there a reason for this?
    More importantly, the text in the first sentence of the excerpt didn't make sense until I realised that WPFTS had ignored the two-column layout and was reading straight across the page, picking up text from the left and right columns alternately. I think this is a significant bug, maybe in WPFTS or maybe elsewhere, so I'd appreciate a fix.

    Hi @Nick

    Could you send me an example of that PDF document, please? I need to test it with extraction software, there should be a bug definitely.

    Hi @stark

    Unfortunately, WPFTS does not work with PODS custom fields "from the box", so custom code exists somewhere. I think your developer used another way to add data to the search index.

    We need to ask him or alternatively, I could check your code myself, it should not be too long. In this case please send me admin access to your resource using a private message.

    Thanks.

    If you're not seeing this issue, my guess is that your external files are stored under the same domain as your WP instance. Our download files are accessed from a different domain. Our site is fcm.org, and the download files are served from a bitwarden.com domain.

    @EpsilonAdmin My last message unfortunately didn't reach you. I've installed the new version but still have the same issue. The indexing is stuck at 5.92% again. Can you help me with this? Regards, Fred.
