    Spyglass performs very fast searches on plain text content stored in most types of fieldtypes as well as matrix column data.

    This tag accepts all parameters accepted by channel:entries in addition to the ones listed here. There is no need to perform an additional call to channel:entries to get all data available through that tag.

    Features
    * Based on {exp:channel:entries} tag, allowing any of it’s parameters to be used in addition to the keyword search - this allows very powerful search forms to be built
    * Provides all of the variables, conditional variables, and variable pairs provided by {exp:channel:entries}
    * Fast database based search based on keywords
    * No more redirect to a search results page: Spyglass directly runs the search when data is available in GET or POST
    * Form tag provides access to GET and POST variables without the need for another extension
    * Search queries can be bookmarked
    * Automatic and customizable excerpting
    * Automatic keyword highlighting in excerpts

    * Purchase and Documentation on Devot:ee

    Nicely done, there have been a lot of requests recently on the forums for searching Matrix data. We will definitely have a look at it for some current projects and your CacheCracker plugin looks great.
