Hi!

That would require a lot of work, and it's not planned right now.

I would welcome any PR that tries to add this feature.

If anyone is trying to do this it looks like this tool might be helpful: https://www.npmjs.com/package/pdf-text-extract

The problem with that approach is that we cannot use css selector to find the content to index. But it is a start! Thanks for sharing.
