Not sure if this is a bug or misconfiguration, but we have a small wiki running CirrusSearch 0.2 (c23ae6a) with ElasticSearch 2.4.4, and we can't get it to index PDFs.
We have tried removing the CirrusSearch/ElasticSearch database and reindexing but haven't had any luck.
Is this a bug, or a misconfiguration on our side?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you installed the PdfHandler extension?
CirrusSearch does not directly support PDF.
We haven't, I will try that now. Are similar modules required for other formats (e.g. .doc, .docx)? Is any other configuration required?
Thanks for your help.
This has been requested multiple times but as far as I know there are no extensions that support Microsoft doc formats in such a way that their content end up being indexed by CirrusSearch (exactly what PdfHandler does for PDFs).
This looks to be a good workaround for mediawiki that has been discussed in this thread. Closing this ticket as declined.
It's not really a workaround, it's an actual dependency. MediaWiki core doesn't support PDF rendering -- so you need PdfHandler.
Cirrus can't index document types MediaWiki doesn't support :)
(Swapping declined for invalid, seems a little more correct)
