Have a look at:

• https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/6.2/ingest-attachment.html
• https://github.com/dadoonet/fscrawler

If you are looking at something more OOTB look at https://swiftype.com/

but ingest-attachment not available on elisticsearch 2.0.0

i use this plugin elasticsearch-mapper-attachments and try to index document by this code

   $content = base64_encode(file_get_contents($doc_src));

//Indexing by mapping
$json = '{
"attachment" : {
"_content_type" : "application/pdf",
"_name" : "'.$doc_src.'",
"_content" : "'.$content.'"
}
}';

    $params = array();
    $params['index'] = 'documents';
    $params['type']  = 'attachment';
    $params['id']    = '17';
    $params['body'] = $json;

      $response= $this->elasticsearch->client->index($params);
  print_r($response);

and it index the document with encoding document but when i search

 $params['index'] = 'documents';
    $params['type']  = 'attachment';
    $params2['body']['query']['match']['file.content'] = 'Text';
    $response= $this->elasticsearch-> client->search($params2);
    print_r($response);

there is now result it always release empty array

That's true. I'd suggest to upgrade to 5.6 or 6.2.
At the very least you should upgrade to latest 2.x. 2.0.0 is so old.

mapper-attachments plugin has been removed in 6.x so I'd really recommend not using it.
