You did indeed suggest that. However, if building a wrapper is fairly straightforward then it may not be a bad idea. I haven't seen any hint of Tika having Any23 on-board any time soon so we might have to wait a very long time if we want to rely on Tika. > > > 4) I like the look of the feed plugin where it also ships with a custom > > indexingfilter implementation, my thoughts were also to provide a custom > > Any23IndexingFilter implementation? > > Depends on what you want to do? What would we get out of Any23? How would > that be used on the search side? Well, we could easily use certain microdata key/value pairs in our results to greatly improve search and navigation.
