Navigate to the dictionary entry for the table that contains the attachments
Change to the Advanced view for the form
In the 'Attributes' field, add "attachment_index=true"
You may need to put a comma after the last attribute defined
Save the record
On the dictionary form again, click on 'Generate Text Index' under the Related links
This process will queue the table for indexing and may take a few days depending on the size and amount of records it needs to go through.
