Description

It seems that the sync process of the desktop app changes the behaviour of fulltextsearch. Instead of indexing the file it tries to delete the (nonexisting) index (see below).

  • file uploaded to non-synced directory:

│ Action: waiting
│ Provider: Files                Account: myuser
│ Document: 1394759
│ Info: image/jpeg
│ Title: Testfile.jpg
│ Content size: 1292
└──
┌─ Results ────
│ Result:      5/5
│ Index: files:1394759
│ Status: ok
│ Message: {"_index":"nextcloud","_id":"files:1394759","_version":1,"result":"created","_shards":{"total":2,"successful":1,"failed":0},"_seq_no":39742,"_primary_term":1}

  • same file uploaded to a directory which is synced by nextcloud desktop app (in my case Linux version 3.9.3):
│ Action: waiting
│ Provider: Files                Account: myuser
│ Document:

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by uploading the same file to a normal directory and to one synced by the Nextcloud desktop app on Linux, then compare the indexing output. Investigate the full-text indexing path responsible for the differing document IDs and deletion result; done means the synced upload is indexed successfully rather than deleting a nonexistent index.
