# Limitations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These are current known limitations that may be of interest for
|
|
|
|
|
considering docspell at the moment. Hopefully they will be resolved
|
|
|
|
|
eventually….

|
|
|
- No fulltext search implemented. This currently has very low
|
|
|
|
|
priority, because I myself never needed it. Open an issue if you
|
|
|
|
|
find it important.
