## Description

There is an awesome plugin WP Download Manager, which allows us to upload and manage
files in a very comfortable way. But unfortunately, it has no deep file search functionality.

This WPFTS add-on plugin makes a “bridge” for WPFTS to let it understand WP Download
Manager’s files and implement the search on them by content.

text (may be used for Google Indexing or file previews).
