Description
I have several raw/plain text files, either with plain text content or with LaTeX source code. None of these files show up when I search for a word which is contained in them. Only pdf and office files will be find. Did I miss something in configuration? I have no external data storage and no encryption.

Research direction
The issue names no source files, entry points, or tests. Start by reproducing a search for terms in plain-text and LaTeX files under the stated configuration, then trace which indexing path handles those files. Done means terms from both file types appear in search results without external storage or encryption.
