# Search
## Searching for Pages (and Files)
Fulltext search for page content (and other attributes like "Title" or "MetaTags") can be easily added to SilverStripe.
See [Tutorial: Site Search](/tutorials/4-site-search) for details.
## Searching for DataObject's
The `[api:SearchContext]` class provides a good base implementation that you can hook into your own controllers.
A working implementation of searchable DataObjects can be seen in the `[api:ModelAdmin]` class.
[SearchContext](/reference/searchcontext) goes into more detail about setting up a default search form for `[api:DataObject]`s.
## Searching for Documents
SilverStripe does not have a built-in method to search through file content (e.g. in PDF or DOC format).
You can either extract any textual file content into the `[File](api:File)->Content` property, or use a
dedicated search service like the [sphinx module](http://silverstripe.org/sphinx-module).
