List,
I somehow fail to index certain pdf files using the ExtractingRequestHandler in Solr 1.4 with default solrconfig.xml but modified schema. I have a very simple schema for this case using only and ID field, a timestamp field and two dynamic fields; ignored_* and attr_* both indexed, stored and multivalued strings. They are multivalued simple because some HTML files fail when storing multiple hyperlinks. I have posted multiple files to http://.../update/extract?literal.id=doc1 including: 1. the whitepaper at http://www.lucidimagination.com/whitepaper/whats-new-in-lucene-2-9?sc=AP 2. the html file of the frontpage of http://nu.nl/ 3. another pdf at http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CAcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcsl.stanford.edu%2F~christos%2Fpublications%2F2007.cmp_mapreduce.hpca.pdf&rct=j&q=2007.cmp_mapreduce.hpca.pdf&ei=PPz7SpiiOM6l4QbZjKjRAw&usg=AFQjCNHs-olxbUQrGCXpNMHfcZvY8aMk8A For each document i have a corresponding select/?q=*:*: 1. No text? Should i see something? <doc><str name="id">doc1</str> <arr name="ignored_content_type"> <str>application/octet-stream</str> </arr> <arr name="ignored_stream_content_type"> <str> text/xml; charset=UTF-8; boundary=----------------------------cf57b4ad644d </str> </arr> <arr name="ignored_stream_size"> <str>491238</str> </arr> <arr name="ignored_text"> <str> </str> </arr> <date name="timestamp">2009-11-12T12:17:23.016Z</date> </doc> 2.

Why doesn't the whitepaper produce any results and why is the next whitepaper full of garbage? At least i'm happy that HTML works fine. Regards, - Markus Jelsma Buyways B.V.
