Full text search and OCR

[hakunamatata]

I would love to see full text search and the option to OCR ingested document baked into Cubby.

@hakunamatata this is a great idea, maybe you can add a post in the cubby forum section to discuss this further at https://forum.cloudron.io/category/132/cubby

Generally, as you can see from the repo, development in cubby i quite slow, since I am the only developer and I am mostly busy with Cloudron itself. But I am happy to discuss code contributions there of course

@nebulon I am not a programmer/developer so I am unfortunately not in a position to contribute to the code. However I am more than happy to help with testing as well as sponsor the development of new features!

With regards to the subject of this thread, it seems that one option for OCR would be to use OCRmyPDF and a search engine such as Solr or Elasticsearch.

I'm sure there must be someone with experience in these areas lurking in our community!

At the end of the day, I think we all want a secure, simple, reliable, file storage & sharing solution with a robust search engine so that we can easily find what we are looking for. Self-hosted & FOSS ofcourse!
