Is it easy to set up indexing for html / xml? Can you extract metadata from the file, etc?

Our content is in html format but stored inside a MSSQL database. It worked out of the box for me. I don't think that Manticore comes with a crawler; if you need this you'd have to implement it yourself. I did find this just: https://medium.com/@s_nikolaev/60-lines-of-code-web-crawler-...

I was talking about local indexing. Nice to know it can deal with this use case relatively easily.

Yes it was straightforward. The documentation makes it sound more complex to implement than I remember it being.
