Hi All

I was doing bit R&D on how can we do searching in file contents.

To search a particular token or word in a text/doc/pdf file, probably we can use apache solr / tika combination.

With the help of apache solr attachment module, probably we can search a specific word in a attached word document.

 

Please correct me if wrong in my assumption so far.

 

On further study, I came to know if a node is created and a document is attached to the node then only in next cron run, the attached document will be indexed and one will be able to search a specific word in that document after certain delay (hope default delay is 2 minute).

 

Now the question is if somebody just uploads a document, and there is no need to attach that document to any node, is there any way out, we can get the document indexed in next cron run. I can programatically create a node and attach the document so that I will be able to index it. But just for indexing a document, do not want to create a node programatically. Because of this reason, day by day, number of nodes will keep incrementing.

 

Any suggestion highly appreciated.

 

Thanks 

Austin
