I save a lot of websites to pdf, and these pdf's usually have a file attribute called "Where from". This is very useful because it stores the url of the original website, which means I can easily search for all saved webpages from the same domain name. Unfortunately, it looks like Foxtrot is not able to search for extended attributes such as "Where from". Is this the current limitation, or am I not using Foxtrot correctly?
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to this website for example: https://writingcooperative.com/zettelkasten-how-one-german-s cholar-was-so-freakishly-productive-997e4e0ca125
2. From the Safari's menu bar, go to "Export as PDF"
3. Now, you should have a pdf that has an attribute called "Where from", and it should have a url from writingcooperative.com
4. Open Foxtrot and search for that pdf using the setting "Contents, any metadata or file name" with "Matches the Foxtrot query", and search syntax [*writingcooperative*]
5. The pdf you just saved will not be listed in search results.
Please let me know if there's a way to find the pdf file described above, using the keyword "writingcooperative" inside Foxtrot. Thank you.
