Search an uploaded document asp.net core

Question

I am looking for any help, so i am currently uploading a file which is either a pdf or a docx to a file server and storing the address in a sql database. I am now trying to allow the user to search the whole database and also the text in the documents that have been uploaded. I am struggling to find any solutions using asp.net core. Does anyone have any ideas?

Depending how many documents you have this is probably going to be slow as hell .

You will want to look into building a full-text-index like lucene or importing the contents of the files into a SQL full text index.

There isn't a pre-made way to do this as it is complicated depending on specific requirements
