Tika extractor not working (all in latest version)

[Fred-06]

Hi,

I am trying to get Tika working in order to extract text from my documents and improve my search results.

Despite my configuration appearing correct, I keep getting the following logs when importing/creating documents:

2026-05-02T21:15:44Z INF file won't be indexed line=github.com/owncloud/ocis/v2/services/search/pkg/search/service.go:505 path=. service=search
2026-05-02T21:15:44Z INF file exceeds content extraction size limit. skipping. Name=PERSONNEL ResourceID={"opaque_id":"12643457-0e3a-4526-a29e-06a626e313c8","space_id":"d702e443-d7e2-42f3-83a4-75a785391d51","storage_id":"6d1a80d8-c765-4581-9315-a50b843642fe"} line=github.com/owncloud/ocis/v2/services/search/pkg/content/tika.go:66 service=search

These logs occur for all file types — both light and heavy PDFs, with a lot of content or very little.

My Tika configuration is similar to the example retrieved from ocis-full.

Have you perhaps already encountered this issue?

Thank you very much!

From https://owncloud.dev/services/search/configuration/ , check for SEARCH_CONTENT_EXTRACTION_SIZE_LIMIT. The default value is (probably) 20MB, but it might be different in your system. In any case, the content extraction will be skipped if the file size is bigger than the limit.

Future releases will allow extracting some content, up to the limit, instead of not extracting anything at all. However, this hasn't been released yet.
