Please format your code using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will make your post more readable.

Have a look at: [https://www.elastic.co/blog/the-future-of-attachments-for-elasticsearch-and-dotnet](https://www.elastic.co/blog/the-future-of-attachments-for-elasticsearch-and-dotnet)

Note that the original text won't be part of the `_source` document when using `mapper-attachments` plugin. You should use `ingest-attachment` instead as explained in "The future" part of the page I linked to..
