Description

I am using Linux Mint 19.1 with Cinnamon. Spotlight searches, on local drive, inside documents and text files pdf and such. Does Cerebro do that? How do I set it up to search contents of my files? Thanks!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate Cerebro's plugin architecture to understand how to add a new search source that indexes and searches file contents. Consider using libraries like 'pdf parse' for PDFs and 'node ftw' for text files. Look at existing plugins for guidance.
