I’m looking for a self hosted solution to this problem:

I want to create a full text search index from a collection of PDF manuals (text, not images, I don’t care about OCR here). There is a UI to search for text matches in documents, and clicking a search hit opens the PDF scrolled to where the search hit is (bonus points if the search hit is hilighted)

    Does Nextcloud search PDF contents?

      Not by default, but I am relatively sure that the full text search extension does.

      @fmstrat @corytheboyd not with core Nextcloud, you need to Install Elastic Search and other plug-ins
      In my experience, it’s not out of the box
