Hi John, See discussion about the issue of indexing contents of ZIP files: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2416
Depending on your use case, you may be able to write a Tika parser which handles your specific case, such as uncompressing a GZIP file and using AutoDetect on its contents or similar. If you want to override the behaviour of Tika's parsing of certain MIME types, you can do this by specifying -Dtika.config=<path-to-your-tika-config> when starting Solr (3.5 or later), and it will obey your config. See Tika's web page for how to write your own parsers. -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com Solr Training - www.solrtraining.com On 5. des. 2011, at 22:02, John Bartak wrote: > Is it possible to extract content for file types that Tika doesn’t support > without changing and rebuilding Tika?
