Summary: Add uploaded file text and metadata from files to
fulltext search set
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Search
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Blocks: 6421,6422,13370
We're starting to integrate text extraction for djvu and pdf files -- currently
used for ProofreadPage extension -- but it's not currently exposed to the
search indexing.
This is also something frequently desired for text document types like .doc and
.odf, and there are some extensions for doing that but there's not a clean
interface to plug it in to that can be supported for all search backends.
Note that supporting the Lucene search which updates separately might require
some additional attention.
Related bugs:
* bug 6421 - search djvu file text
* bug 6422 - search pdf file text
* bug 13370 - search file metadata
Also interesting idea:
* bug 18045 - search text of linked files (but if these are remote, that's much
harder to handle!)
Things we need:
* clear interface on File for things that need to be fetched (exif metadata,
page text)
* clear interface on the SearchEngine class for plugging additional info in to
updates
* a way to expose additional searchable info to the Lucene search's updaters
(plugin to oai interface maybe to toss in extra data fields?)
