Yes. See `indexed_chars` here [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/6.6/using-ingest-attachment.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/6.6/using-ingest-attachment.html)

Ok.. Thanks for your quick reply.  
so as per document, i am following the steps. I tried to create new pipeline but i am getting an error, "parse\_exception. No processor type exists with name [attachment]".  
Could you please help me with this?

That's another question. Basically you did not install the plugin or you did not restart elasticsearch node.
