Pick and choose the post types, taxonomies, and custom fields used for searches. Use weights to adjust result priority. - Developer friendly, automatic updates
SearchWP’s hooks allow you to customize SearchWP even further. Get automatic updates just like your other plugins. - Multiple search engines
Easily create supplemental search engines alongside global search to easily facilitate section-specific searching. - Extensions & statistics
New extensions are added all the time. Keep an eye on search stats so you can react to what your visitors are looking for.

I’ve used a few search plugins and this one is by far the best when it comes to referencing PDF’s in your search parameters. Easy interface and some great automation built in.
