use pdftotext for searching added papers?

poppler-utils includes pdftotext perhaps use that for full text searching of saved papers?

Sounds useful! And someone I follow on twitter found postgres is sufficient for the full-text search: https://twitter.com/ArtirKel/status/1196222748449742848 (edit) That's probably too heavy of a dependency.

I'd be fine with any kind of db, but that's another dependency to consider. I wonder if an in-memory word search would be fast enough?
