This assumes you already have your search server, index and search page created. The drupal.org module page for search_api_attachments has no documentation, but the readme.txt file at the root of the module provides a good example. Here it is in a nutshell.

  • Once you've enabled the search_api_atachments module, go to admin/config/search/search_api_attachments and configure the Tika extractor. Pantheon has a doc for that.
  • The next step is to go to the ‘processors’ tab of the index and enable the “File attachments” processor.
  • Next, then go back to the fields tab, click the “Add fields” button and in the general section you will now see a new field to select: “Search api attachments: File” which will indicate which of your file fields it will search. Add whichever one(s) you want searched.
  • After you add the field, be sure to set it’s type to “Fulltext”. Then delete any content already indexed and re-index.
