Hi Austin Are you using D7 or D6. With D6 I tried couple of months back. I had a simple form and any user can upload a document. I wanted that document should be indexed. I had used apache solr file attachment module also was creating a node programatically.

Looks it is impossible to think of indexing a file without creating a corresponding node. Thats what I know.

Thanks Kamal

Hi List Any input regarding this highly appreciated. Thanks, Austin

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
