Hi,

I am quite new to ElasticSearch, have prior experience in Solr.  
My use case is that we have a intranet website with documents attached as links in the web pages.  
I have been instructed to create a search architecture that would be able to search through the webpages as well as attached documents.  
The problem is I have not been able to find a way to index this website data into Elasticsearch.  
Please can someone guide me in the right direction.

Thanks,  
Venture M.

A lot of people use Apache Nutch for this.

Probably, your favourite search engine can find it for you.
