samba - Nov 2021 - Tweaking Spotlight

Hi,

I?m testing Spotlight with Elasticsearch + fscrawler on Samba 4.14 and it?s
mostly working fine. But I?d like to deal with these:

1. Sometimes typing something in the Mac Finder window?s top right corner
doesn?t work. Either by itself or selecting ?name matches:?. In the log I see
this:

[2021/11/19 11:17:08.663810,  0]
../../source3/rpc_server/mdssvc/es_mapping.c:182(es_map_sl_attr)
  es_map_sl_attr: No JSON type mapping for [kMDItemAuthorAddresses]
[2021/11/19 11:17:08.664252,  0]
../../source3/rpc_server/mdssvc/mdssvc.c:973(slrpc_open_query)
  slrpc_open_query: backend search_start failed

It might work later so it?s not always consistent. Using the same search term in
the more granular search section with either ?contents contains? or ?name
contains? works every time.

2. Searching by file name is case-sensitive. I?m not sure how and where to tweak
it so Samba would return results with any case. Has anyone done this
modification?

Thanks,
Perttu

latest version has

   elasticsearch:ignore unknown attribute = yes | no

and

   elasticsearch:ignore unknown type = yes | no

Cf man smb.conf.

hm, I don't remember off hand, but I guess this depends on how the 
indexer configures the indexes.
