Another question, do you have a module(s) that support the extraction of text from PDFs, office documents, jpg that feeds into app search? Not from a URL like your site product, but just through API?

Hey @Zane_D, nothing to my knowledge. You'd likely need to perform your own extraction and then feed that into app search.

That's what I figured, but since site search has functionality like that. I thought Elastic might separate it out as a "module"
