How can I save documents like docx, pdf, xls and other microsoft documents in elasticsearch

Is their any way to add microsoft documents to elasticsearch and do the search on the documnets

ingest-attachment plugin is built for that.

Have also at FSCrawler project in case it helps.

Hello! If you want quick and dirty solution then as @dadoonet says 'ingest-attachment' is best solution for you. But in some cases it will not work

The basic issues are:

* The overhead when converting binary stream to BASE64 is about 30%
* Storing source files data in ES is waaay too expensive and useless, even if you store it separately and exclude it from the index (especially in BASE64 string format)
