Hello, having a bit of trouble with mapper-attachments. Elasticsearch.logs shows plugin loading correctly: [2013-03-11 09:07:58,407][INFO][plugins] [Modred the Mystic] loaded [mapper-attachments], sites [] However, when indexing a binary file with this script: [https://gist.github.com/lukas-vlcek/1075067](https://gist.github.com/lukas-vlcek/1075067) (posted in tutorial) nothing shows up, and when querying by ID, only Base64 data is shown instead of Tika plain text extraction. Currently on ES 0.20.5 using .deb installation on debian. Thanks for your help. Mitch. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I tested it some time ago against 0.20 and it was working fine. What version of attachment plugin do you use?
