Sorry, if it is looks like an ad, but we created an Ambar: integrated ES + TIKA + PDFBOX + Tesseract. It can parse any file and search throught it. Also it have a nice web ui. It's available on github [https://github.com/RD17/ambar](https://github.com/RD17/ambar) ---

You can spin up a VM with Ambar on Windows. All interaction with Ambar perfomed throught REST API, so it would not be a problem. ---

Nope, if you have any troubles doing installation please post an issue to our github ([https://github.com/RD17/ambar](https://github.com/RD17/ambar)) ---

Hello @RD17Ambar I tried to install amber on VM by using following command wget -O [ambar.py](http://ambar.py) [https://static.ambar.cloud/ambar.py](https://static.ambar.cloud/ambar.py) && chmod +x ./ambar.py it gives error --2017-04-27 10:28:02-- [https://static.ambar.cloud/ambar.py](https://static.ambar.cloud/ambar.py) Resolving static.ambar.cloud (static.ambar.cloud)... 89.207.89.82 Connecting to static.ambar.cloud (static.ambar.cloud)|89.207.89.82|:443... connected.

It's actually quite strange since neither us (see the screenshot below) nor other users ever experienced this sort of error. The certificate is valid, I'm confident about it. Maybe you should try running `wget --no-check-certificate -O ambar.py https://static.ambar.cloud/ambar.py && chmod +x ./ambar.py` ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/d/6d37ba5ab952bcd35ee4ad37a584d20b44f57311.png) ---
