Could someone please try and point out what I am missing / doing wrong? My environment details: ```auto Java 1.8.0u45 ElasticSearch 2.1.0 ElasticSearch Mapper Attachments 3.1.0 ``` Here is a snippet from when I start up ES - mapper-attachments loaded: ```auto [2016-04-27 12:31:14,849][INFO][node] [Trevor Fitzroy] version[2.1.0], pid[3978], build[72cd1f1/2015-11-18T22:40:03Z] [2016-04-27 12:31:14,851][INFO][node] [Trevor Fitzroy] initializing ...

What if you search in `document_contents` field? ---

Hi David, Thanks for your input, but no cigar 😞 Request: ```auto { "query": { "filtered": { "query": { "match": { "document_contents": "testing" } }, "filter": { "range": { "rank": { "gte": "1" } } } } }, "sort": [{ "upload_date": { "order": "desc" } }] } ``` Response - same as for 'document\_contents.content': ```auto { "took": 3, "timed_out": false, "_shards": { "total": 1, "successful": 1, "failed": 0 }, "hits": { "total": 0, "max_score": null, "hits": [] } } ``` However, if I search on 'tags' - Request: ```auto { "query": { "filtered": { "query": { "match": { "tags": "april" } }, "filter": { "range": { "rank": { "gte": "1" } } } } }, "sort": [{ "upload_date": { "order": "desc" } }] } ``` Response - searching on tags: ```auto { "took": 14, "timed_out": false, "_shards": { "total": 1, "successful": 1, "failed": 0 }, "hits": { "total": 1, "max_score": null, "hits": [{ "_index": "documents-1-index", "_type": "documents-1-type", "_id": "9", "_score": null, "_source": { "id": 9, "tags": "order, april, testing", "rank": 1, "upload_date": "2016-04-27T07:13:22.417Z", "document_contents": { "_indexed_chars": -1, "_content": "SSBhbSB0ZXN0aW5nIHRoZSBtYXBwZXIgcGx1Z2luIGxldHMgc2VlIC4uCg==\n" } }, "sort": ["2016-04-27T07:13:22.417Z"] }] } } ``` I can see that the document is there, just can't search on content. Should I raise a bug on github for 'elasticsearch-mapper-attachments' ? Thanks for trying to help me with that.. 🙂 ---

Further to that I have clean installed the following: ```auto ElasticSearch-2.1.2 ElasticSearch-Mapper-Attachments-3.1.2 ``` But still no luck, raised a GitHub issue. > ---

After a good night's sleep I've figured out the problem! 😄 I was posting the document to: [http://localhost:9200/documents/1](http://localhost:9200/documents/1) Instead of posting to: [http://localhost:9200/documents/document/1](http://localhost:9200/documents/document/1) So embarrassing; anyways, thanks! 😊 ---

🙂 That's why it's always better IMO to give always the exact commands you send. Your scripts were really complete though. I just did not find time yet to run them ☹ That's great you solve it. Thanks for the follow up. ---

I'm pretty stoked myself too! 😃 Although, I have ended up downgrading to ES-2.0.2 Thats because the ES-ATT-3.0.4 supports way more 'file types' Looking forward to ES-5 and the new Ingest plugin though Great work! Thanks 😉 ---

Please report file types you need to support. We decided at some point to reduce the surface of the plugin because of jar hell issues and security concerns (security manager was doing his job). We might be able to add support for some other files. Ingest works the same way. ---

Here is my wish list: ```auto HTML / XML Microsoft Office Documents Open Document Formats iWorks PDF RTF Text Formats Mail Formats Compressed Archives ( containing any of the above ) ``` Super awesome to have: ```auto Images ( metadata and OCR [flag for OCR {default on}] ) Details on its dependency on 'tesseract' and good doc about it. ``` Thanks for your help and collaboration. Cheers, Gui ---

I know that some of them are working fine, like PDF oOo, MsOffice... If you have some example files which are not working, could you add them on pastebin for example, create an issue in elasticsearch repo and link to them? There have been discussions about OCR already and sadly it needs nowadays a 3rd party tool. No pure Java lib around AFAIK. ---

Hi David, I have given a go using ES-2.0.2 and ES-ATT-3.0.4 and all types that are on my wish list worked fine 😄 Only exception is the Image OCR text extraction that I didn't manage to get going. According to this post ES-1.7.2 with ES-ATT-2.7.1 is capable of doing the Image OCR text extraction: > [@Configure attachment mapper to use OCR plugin](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/configure-attachment-mapper-to-use-ocr-plugin/32820/7): > > Hi, this is Subhadip, Waheed's teammate. I was able to find a work around for ES 1.7.2 with elastic mapper attachments 2.7.1 as recommended. Our original installation was in /usr/local/share directory which falls under superuser access. Although, mapper-attachments, and hence Tika worked absolutely fine with it, tesseract didn't work. I tried to track the logs but I couldn't really find anything promising. So just for kicks, I tried the installation in the local user directory, and Voila! It … However, there is some fiddling around that needs doing to get tika / tesseract working fine (adjusting permissions from what I understood) - it would be great to have a 'how to' on that. Also, from the looks of it I can't use tika / tesseract and ES-2.x due to security measures / limitations 😩 I have found this Java Lib (OCR) that seems to do _some_ of the job:: [https://github.com/axet/lookup](https://github.com/axet/lookup) Perhaps you guys could fork it and improve.. Anyways, thanks! 😃 ---
