This video shows you how to set up full text search in a Nextcloud instance.

When I did the setup myself, I found it being not as easy as I thought, so I decided to share the steps and caveats.

In this video, Nextcloud and Elasticsearch are set up using docker-compose.

Apps to install from the Nextcloud admin:

- Full text search: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/fulltextsearch
- Full text search - Elasticsearch Platform: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/fulltextsearch_elasticsearch
- Full text search - Files: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/files_fulltextsearch
