Full text search should search the content of PDF attachments #1273

It would be super useful if Quiver's full-text search could find text content inside PDF documents attached to notes, and not just in the note themselves.

In many cases a note is just a blurb about the attached PDF, and the PDF content is actually the more important content.

This would probably be useful for other file types as well, but PDF content is easy to index and Search Kit already supports PDF out of the box, so it is a kind of low-hanging fruit. Also, virtually anything on a Mac can easily be converted to PDF just by "printing" it to PDF.

So even if the attachment full-text search was limited to PDF it would still be fantastically useful.
