Pro Edition
The Community edition indexes attachment metadata (filename, file type, size, sender) but does not extract attachment content. The Pro edition registers a text extractor that feeds PDF and Word content into the Tantivy full-text index, so searches match text inside attachments.
What is indexed
- PDF — text extraction with Latin and CJK (CMap) coverage
- DOCX — Word document text
Extracted text is indexed alongside the attachment's metadata and is searchable with the same query syntax and filters as message bodies.
Limits
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
BICHON_EXTRACT_FILE_SIZE_LIMIT | 10 MiB | Files larger than this are skipped |
BICHON_EXTRACT_TEXT_LIMIT | 4 MiB | Extracted text longer than this is truncated |
Note: Extraction applies to newly ingested attachments. Re-ingest existing archives to index their attachment content after upgrading to Pro.
