+# Full Text Search NextCloud App(s)
+
+## Overview
+
+This document provides some information about the NextCloud Full Text Search App(s) and a step-by-step plan how to set this up on your local machine with the use of ElasticSearch as search platform.
+
+## Local Setup Steps
+
+1. Open a command-line interface (CLI), such as:
+	- **Windows:** Command Prompt (`cmd`), PowerShell, or Windows Terminal.
+	- **Linux/macOS:** Terminal.
+2. Navigate to your local Nextcloud repository (where a docker-compose.yml file is present):
+   ```sh
+   cd {route to your local NC repo}
+   ```
+3. Start the necessary Docker containers:
+   ```sh
+   docker-compose up nextcloud proxy elasticsearch
+   ```
+4. In the Nextcloud front-end, go to **NC Apps > Search** and install the following three apps:
+	- **Full text search Files**
+	- **Full text search Elastic**
+	- **Full text search**
+5. Under **Administrator settings**, go to **Full text search** in the sidebar.
+6. Under **General**, configure the following:
+	- **Search Platform:** Set to **"Elasticsearch"**.
+	- **Navigation Icon:** Check this option.
+7. Under **Elastic Search**, set the following:
+	- **Address of the Servlet:**
+	  ```
+	  http://elastic:elastic@elasticsearch:9200
+	  ```
+	- **Index:**
+	  ```
+	  my_index
+	  ```
+	- **[Advanced] Analyzer tokenizer:**
+	  ```
+	  standard
+	  ```
+8. Under **Files**, configure the following
+	- **Check all checkboxes:**
+      - Local Files
+      - Group Folders
+      - Extract PDF
+      - Extract Office & Open Files
+	- **Maximum file size:** Set your prefered maximum file size (at least **64** is recommended).
+9. Add some files to Nextcloud in the Files tab of NextCloud.
+10. Run the indexing command in the `master-nextcloud-1` container in Docker Desktop:
+	```sh
+	sudo -u www-data php ./occ fulltextsearch:index
+	```
+11. Open the **search app** and search for files based on the text inside them.
