It must search within document text for example the contents of the files in a SharePoint document library.</P> <P>The idea is to create a dashboard with a nice simple search interface that brings back the "articles" highlighting the key term and filtering down based on certain functional or application name etc. </P> Wed, 10 Oct 2018 21:53:07 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-do-you-use-Splunk-to-search-within-document-text-of-wiki/m-p/414073#M167121 roseneric4 2018-10-10T21:53:07Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-do-you-use-Splunk-to-search-within-document-text-of-wiki/m-p/414074#M167122 <P>Splunk does not have a web-crawler component, you would need to fetch all the documents from SharePoint through some means.</P> <P>Unfortunately, the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Office 365 only fetches the audit logs for SharePoint, not the actual data.
