[TYPO3-dam] can dam frontend search content of indexed files

[Stefan Busemann]

Hi Ivano,

the dam_frontend extension is currently able, to search for every column 
in the tx_dam table. Other tables or caches are (currently) not 
supported. If you this kind of support, please add a feature request to:
http://forge.typo3.org/projects/show/extension-dam_frontend

Thank you.

Best regards

Stefan
