+This module disables the indexation of attachments content.
+
+Attachment model has a field called 'index_content' where the content of
+the attachment is read and stored directly in the database. This field
+is useful in order to search content of a file. But most of cases it is
+not used, so, you can install this module in order to:
+
+- **Avoid Duplicating Data:** Because indexation extracts text content
+  from files and put it on the database in order it could be searched,
+  but this implies you have the file data in your `filestore` directory,
+  and also part (or sometimes all) of that data in your database too.
+- **Improve Performance:** Since not all indexed files are plain text,
+  they require extra process to read them.
+
+Maybe you could try to uninstall modules like `document` in order to
+disable its indexation features, but you could face the uninstallation
+of other modules that could be useful for you (e.g, `hr_recruitment`
+depends on that).
+
+But even if you don't have `document` installed, you'd still have plain
+text content indexation by default. As you can see in this SQL query
+results, indexation is active even without it:

+
+Using this module you will not require to uninstall any module to
+disable the attachment content indexation, because we directly disable
+it at `ir.attachment` base.
+
+Also, after the installation, the `index_content` field on attachments
+already recorded in database will be cleared.
