Copy Search conversion tools to local nodes to enable full indexing of data.
The Search conversion tools make it possible to index Files and Wiki attachments. However, the conversion tools are initially deployed on a network share so you must copy them to each node in the Search cluster.If you are performing this task after you have added a node to an existing cluster, as described in the Adding a node to a cluster topic, you need to complete the steps in this task only if the new node is a member of the Search cluster.
Useful as an aide-memoire, when things ain’t working 🙁
