Hi, DSpace can search within files which support full-text indexing (e.g. PDFs, Word documents, etc), provided that you occasionally run the "filter-media" script (usually you add this to a cronjob or similar, as it is what generates thumbnail images & extracts text from files for search indexing). See https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Mediafilters+for+Transforming+DSpace+Content#MediafiltersforTransformingDSpaceContent-Executing(viaCommandLine)
However, even when a search matches the contents of a file, the *Item* which includes that file is returned in the search results. Currently, there's no way in DSpace to return the file (or bitstream) in a search results list.
