Uploading , Parsing and Filtering Documents

[asheeshmathur]

Hello,
Glad to post my queries in this forum, FSCrawler is a path breaking solution/ alternate to attachment plugin.

Hopefully elastic recognize and embed in its offering.

I plan to build a job search engine based on PDF/Doc/text/RTF CVs.
Seacrching contents and external attributes entered while uploading.

As suggested by David, we should filter relevant contents before uploading the extracted document to elastic search.

I could upload documents it's extracted contents & external attibutes via PHP.

My Queries:

1. As sugested by David, how to edit extracted contents via browser before pushing to ES.
2. How to download the original CV back from ES. Do we have a REST API for it.
3. Is it a good way ?. Any recommendations
4. Should we store original documents in some other repository instead. How to link them ES contents (docID ?)
5. Can Google search documents hosted on a website.

Looking forward to a word from this community of experts.

Best Regards
Asheesh

I think contents are extracted once it reached ES server just before pushing.
In order to edit them we will have fetch again using Get API, edit it on web page and then send back update request to override.
Could find an API to extract Base64 encoded contents, decode it, however saving it back on client is still a challenge.

Another option is to store the actual binay docs in Firestore etc. and establish a link between two,

Regading Google programmable search engine may not work in my case. As those documents should have a reference on web page for it to crawl.

Please advise.
