[Samba] Spotlight issues

[Matthias Kühne | Ellerhold Aktiengesellschaft]

Hello,

yes sadly update 8.9 of elasticsearch broke the samba integration. Seems 
like 8.10 is still broken. Stay on 8.8 until this is fixed. Ive emailed 
Ralph Böhme of Sernet already, but hes got no time for it atm.

Im not sure about the second part of your bug report though:

This is with elasticsearch < 8.9 (7.17)? It only shows result while the 
indexer is running? Weird... the indexer should just populate the DB 
(elasticsearch) with documents. It shouldnt matter to samba if the 
indexer is currently running or not.

Which indexer do you use? I never got fscrawler to work, so... shameless 
plug: Im mainting my own indexer over at 
https://github.com/Ellerhold/fs2es-indexer/issues - give it a look if 
you want. Or dont. ;)

For us (Samba 4.18 + Elasticsearch 8.8 + fs2es-indexer) the quick search 
works (sometimes takes while though) and the advanced search is somewhat 
funky but mostly works. Be aware that as far as I know only the filename 
criteria are implemented in Samba (and my indexer). Everything else like 
size, date etc are silently ignored by samba.

Hope this helps,
Matthias Kühne.
