   Text and metadata extraction
============================

 This feature automatically extracts content and metadata from various file formats (e.g. PDF, Word, Excel) during indexing. It captures not only plain text but also structured information such as author, title or keywords, making them searchable.
This enables users to search uploaded documents precisely without having to process the content manually. The extraction supports common formats and can be extended to include further file types if required.
