I am trying to upload a document index it and search within the document but i am not able to. I am using Rest High Level Client. I have added ingest plugin. I think i'm not using the proper way to index the document. Can anyone help me to achieve this.

You'll need to be more specific than that.

What exactly have you tried, and what is going wrong?

I'm uploading a file and with that i'm passing few fields. And i want index that.

String base64Content = Base64.encodeBase64String(file.get());  
XContentBuilder content = null;  
content = XContentFactory.jsonBuilder();  
content.startObject();  
content.field("Module", "Knowledge");  
content.field(base64Content);  
content.field(entityId);  
content.field("Id", tKnowledge.getId());  
content.field("Archive", tKnowledge.getArchive());  
content.endObject();

```
		public static void indexKnowledgeDocument(String index, String type, XContentBuilder content, String id) {
	RestHighLevelClient client = IndexUtils.getIndexClient();
	PutPipelineRequest pipelineRequest = new PutPipelineRequest(id,content);
	try {
		AcknowledgedResponse response = client.ingest().putPipeline(pipelineRequest, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);
	} catch (IOException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
	try {
		client.close();
	} catch (IOException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}		
}

```

when im passing the content im passing with the other fields too. for indexing document only should i pass the file or with the other fields also can i pass?

If what im doing is not the proper way then what is the way to index a document and search from it.

The PutPipelineRequest is used to [store a pipeline](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.4/put-pipeline-api.html) not a document.

You want to use the [Index API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.4/java-rest-high-document-index.html).

I have a module called knowledge. I'm creating an index request with all other properties, one particular property is an attachment, it can be word/pdf and i want to search inside that attachment document also. Before i was using mapper attachments plugin. I saw that its replaced with ingest plugin now, So i was trying like how i have showed above. So what i need to follow to search in attachments,
