Re: Controlling Tika's metadata

I have the same problem with discarding the metadata title.
I thought the parameter "captureAttr" (can be provided at the 
solrconfig.xml and via get/post as a parameter) is responsible for that? 
I set it to false in in the xml and as a parameter, still, I get "not 
multivalued field" errors due to metadata & literals delivering content 
to a "no multivalued" field. ;(

using 3.1 though.
