Hey everyone,

I’m reaching out because I could use some help or guidance here. So, I kinda ended up being the go-to person for collecting and storing data in a project I’m involved in with my team. We’ve got a bunch of data, like tens of thousands of files, and we’re using nextcloud to make it accessible to our users. The thing is, we’re facing a bit of a challenge with the search function on nextcloud when accessed through a public link. Being that there isn’t a search function. While we really appreciate the features it offers from an administrative standpoint, it’s not working that well for our users.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or resources that could point us in the right direction for this project? It would be super awesome if it’s something open-source and privacy retaining. 😄

Thanks a bunch in advance!

    I understand these files are not images or binary. But you should specify a bit better if they're PDF, XLS, DOC, etc or what else...

    I'm sure that apache solr or elasticsearch can index these files. And there are nextcloud apps to integrate such indexes. For example, this one https://github.com/nextcloud/fulltextsearch/wiki
