Hello. I want to save file binary with fscrawler without extract file contents. But when i set the "indexed\_chars" : "1000", Can't save file binary fully (More than 70MB) it is also same when i set the "indexed\_chars" : "1000". I want to save only binary with "attachment" field. who knows the solutions? ---

Where do you want to save it? In elasticsearch? That is not recommended to store blobs in elasticsearch. I wonder why would you want to do it, specifically if you don't want to index its content. But you can use: - [https://github.com/dadoonet/fscrawler/blob/master/README.md#storing-binary-source-document-base64-encoded](https://github.com/dadoonet/fscrawler/blob/master/README.md#storing-binary-source-document-base64-encoded) - [https://github.com/dadoonet/fscrawler/blob/master/README.md#ignore-content](https://github.com/dadoonet/fscrawler/blob/master/README.md#ignore-content) In the future I'd also like to implement this feature which might help to solve your use case: > ---

Thanks for your reply. Based on your 2 things, "store\_source" : true && "index\_content" : false ==\> Not store the source.... "Index\_content" have to "true" when store source.. But i want to set the "index\_content" : false ---

> Not store the source.... What do you mean? What is a typical document look like when you are using this option? ---

For example, word or excel files. conf ==\> "store\_source" : true "index\_content" : true "indexed\_chars" : "-1" ==\> Successfully save the binary attachment. "store\_source" : true "index\_content" : false "indexed\_chars" : "-1" ==\> Not save the binary attachment. Actually i want to save the binary attachment without text extraction. ---
