Issue created Feb 04, 2021 by John McGuire@JohnMcGuireDeveloper

All Files names in the repo should be searchable in Advanced Search

Problem

Several file types are skiped from indexing to conserve space and because searching the context of the file isn't always helpful.

Proposal

We have seen that File searching is a top use case in Advanced Search. We should include all file names and paths even we we are not indexing the content in the file.

Dmitry Gruzd 🔵 @dgruzd · 59 minutes ago Developer I think it might still be worthwhile to "index" binary files for what it's worth even if you just index the name.

@JohnMcGuire maybe we should create a new issue for this?
