Description

Hi, fulltextsearch is indexing .doc and .pdf files fine, but seems to have problems with the metadata inside photos (.jpg) and songs (.mp3)

Is it using Apache Tika to index these files ?

Thanks for your help,
GHE

My Environment:

  • Nextcloud 14.0.3
  • Elasticsearch 6.4.2
  • Full text search - 1.1.0
  • Full text search - Elasticsearch Platform 1.0.2
  • Full text search - Files 1.1.1
  • Full text search - Files - Tesseract OCR 1.0.0
  • Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
  • PHP 7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
  • MariaDB Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.1.34-MariaDB

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the report. Start by reproducing indexing for .jpg and .mp3 with the listed Nextcloud, Elasticsearch, and full-text-search versions, then trace whether Apache Tika processes their metadata. Done means the relevant photo and song metadata is searchable, with a regression test covering the behavior.
