Wao, this is a really cool way to build full fledged search that too in a notebook!
Does it work end-to-end with PDF as a data structure or do we have to use OCR and parse the text first to be able to search it, really curious?

That said, I'm planning future notebooks where you can perform text-to-image or image-to-image search, integrate OCR, scale it up, serve it, deploy it, etc.
Don't. PDF is a terrible format for storing machine readable data. You lose a ton of Information while you create the PDF which you then painstakingly have to get back later (if that's even possible)
Agreed on the rest. PDFs don't store machine-readable data. Often just pixelated scanned hot garbage dumpster fire text.
I hate PDFs but have to work with the satanforesaken things. Hence the notebook. It's my little way of trying to give my little PDF-bespoked-hellscape a tiny little glow-up.
