I'm using Laravel7 with Aws-S3 as file storage.
The files are PDF only and and I want to add search files feature i.e. If a user search for a text, I want to list all PDF files that has the matching text.

Is this something possible using Laravel alone or using Aws/S3?
I know I can extract all the text of a file on upload and store it in database, and when user search for a text, I can search it from database using %LIKE% query but this will take a huge database space.

I'm looking for something better.

  • I mean the other option is to load file after file and load the text out of the file and search through it. Therefore I assume that saving the content on upload will be faster than reading in the PDFs – Aless55 Dec 16 '21 at 12:09
