Hi, @patsevanton :)

Since ripgrep does not support searching PDFs, AQS also cannot search PDFs.

wget https://pdfobject.com/pdf/sample.pdf
rg dolor sample.pdf
# No results

Yes, it is true that ripgrep-all can search PDFs. However, AQS supports only ripgrep, not ripgrep-all.

It might work if you specify the path to the rga executable, but this has not been confirmed and is not guaranteed.
