I have created a trail account in ES ,installed the elastic search package and configured it.
to Insert the file i have converted it to base64 format and indexed and created a type . the file can be retrieved from the api console in elastic cloud using search url since i have indexed using keywords .
But for my need i need to search the content from the file which is in base64 format.

Did you install the ingest attachment plugin and followed the example in the plugin guide?

There an example here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/using-ingest-attachment.html

PUT _ingest/pipeline/attachment
{
  "description" : "Extract attachment information",
  "processors" : [
    {
      "attachment" : {
        "field" : "data"
      }
    }
  ]
}
PUT my_index/_doc/my_id?pipeline=attachment
{
  "data": "e1xydGYxXGFuc2kNCkxvcmVtIGlwc3VtIGRvbG9yIHNpdCBhbWV0DQpccGFyIH0="
}
GET my_index/_doc/my_id

The data field is basically the BASE64 representation of your binary file.

You can also use FSCrawler. There's a tutorial to help you getting started.

Go to the "Edit" page of the cluster.
