    Hi Alexander,

    I'm not sure I understand your question here. Do you mean the attachments that are stored within a File Attachment control in InfoPath or some other kind of attachment such, as the XML form itself? For the latter, you could use our Database Accelerator product which provides a search functionality for just that scenario. If you are trying to do a full text search on the base64 of a file attachment control, that is probably going to be quite difficult.

    Yes, I mean exectly this one:
    "The attachments that are stored within a File Attachment control in InfoPath" (Base 64). Can you give some advice or hint ???

    Ah, this will no doubt be very difficult. Maybe you could create some kind of SharePoint event handler that each time a form is submitted it opens the XML, extracts the base64, converts it to a text-readable format, and then submits it to a seperate database that has full text search enabled.

    This is going to be a lot of work, but maybe you can accomplish what you are trying to do another way.
