Questions about searching Alfresco file contents

Can Alfresco title based search extend to contents based search?

How casn I do this?

Also, Can I know how content-based search works and how much resources are needed?

while using the alfresco + solr service, I thought it would be convenient to search the contents of the file.

Abstractly, I think it will take a lot of resources because I need to register the contents of the file, is that right?

(Actually, We are not currently in a resource-poor situation.)

Thanks all the time for the help Alfresco Team!

You can perform search in content using Alfresco with default configuration.

The product uses SOLR under the hood to provide this feature.

The amount of resources required for that depends on the volume of your data, but I guess is not that big.

Currently, Alfresco has confirmed that only title-based search is supported by default.

I'd like to search by file content.

Currently, if you look at the filters in Search Manager, only the following items are registered.

(cm:creator, cm:content.mimetype, cm:created, cm:content.size, cm:modifier, cm:modified)

How can I search file's contents information apart?
