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!

Research direction
Investigate Cerebro's plugin system to determine if content search can be added as a plugin. Look at existing file search plugins and how they index files. Consider libraries like Apache Tika or pdf.js for document parsing. Since the issue is assigned but stale, check with the maintainer on the current status and whether this feature is still desired.
