Ofbiz search engine

[Tom Running]

Can Ofbiz be use for the following requirement?
How can I go about achieving this with Ofbiz?

I have a folder with Microsoft Word and pdf document format.
Can I leveraging Ofbiz to search the contents of these documents, find it
then allow to view it?


Search and find key words that exist or matched for each document then map
that to that document for view.

FYI,  I posted this question before but some how I can not find it.  So, I
repost it again.

Thanks,

Hi Tom,

I believe what you are looking for is a very custom solution that does not come out of the box with OFBiz.

I think you should take a look at apache POI (http://poi.apache.org/) and apache lucene (https://lucene.apache.org/). Together you can use both solutions to access microsoft documents and index them for searching.

Another workaround is to integrate with a document management system that supports indexed search of binary documents. There are many open source solutions out there that live on the JVM.

Taher and Jacques,

Thank you for the information.

I am wondering if anyone has attempt to integrate such features to Ofbiz?
Love to hear and share your opinion.

Hi Tom,

I’ve seen a solution for this with a combination of OFBiz and solr using the Tika library to index document contents.
See here: https://tika.apache.org

This could be a nice todo in addition to the not yet finished solr integration issue OFBIZ-5042, maybe I will investigate it a bit in the near future...

Martin,

That would be very nice to have Tika integrate with Ofbiz.  Tika seems to
be a good solution.  I like to help out whatever I can.  Let me know.
It sounds like Solr is already package with Ofbiz.

Now, I need to figure out how to integrate with the Tika's Paser API for
the eCommerce's Web site searching and indexing capability.  Is this a good
assumption?

Martin,

I have downloaded and built the Tika.
I need solr cell ExtractingRequestHandler.  Do you know if I have to I have
to download the whole Solr package? Does it require the whole Solr pacakage
to run or I only need the Solr ExtractingRequestHandle jar file?

Can I use the exiting Solr come with Ofbiz?  I am assuming Solr has been
package with Ofbiz.

Or do I have to implement the new Solr ?

If you guys can point me to the right direction I can try to build and
implement Tika and Solr with Ofbiz.

Thanks,
T

For Solr, so far there is only https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5042
It's still a WIP though it works if you take care of the conflict with Lucene as explained there
The security issue should not be a problem, though we have to care/check about the Solr admin application.
