attachment search support config? about dovecot-fts-flatcurve HOT 2 CLOSED

This is not (and will not) be built into any individual Dovecot FTS library (including flatcurve). The correct place to do this is in the Dovecot core libfts - which, as you point out, is done via fts_decoder configuration. decode2text is not really intended for production use - if you want to do attachment scanning, you should use fts_tika instead.

Edit: sorry, I meant using "fts_tika" configuration instead of "fts_decoder". Tika is a general purpose text extractor, so it can be used by every FTS driver for Dovecot. It doesn't make sense to hardcode this functionality into a specific FTS driver because of this.

then, i'll revisit tika again. i'm trying to avoid a 'fat', resource-insensive java solution for a local box -- a primary motivator to find/move to fts-flatcure from solr.
solr+tika on one, local box is too heavy.
admittedly, i've not tried a fts-flatcurve + tika solution to compare. yet.
