The issue you are facing:
Elasticsearch is working, but contents do not seem to be getting indexed.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Yes, never tried Elasticsearch + Full Text Search before

PID 565 still running.

Looks to me like Elasticsearch is working, but no search ever returns content that I know is in a file.

The setup for this was very unclear and there was much trial and error. The nextcloud index is not used. That was from a failed setup attempt.

Edit: Yes I know it is a wide open eleasticsearch instance. I removed readonlyrest during testing. putting it back and using the username in the URL returns the same results.

A search for something that is in an XML file is not found. but the XML file itself is found.

Some triple checking, and a reboot later.

I gave up and deleted the all of the indexes in elastic search and then kicked off a new initial index.

That seems to have worked for the most part. That scan stopped with a fatal error. I’ll make a new post about that.

But the files it had scanned prior to that are now searchable.
