Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I am looking to implement a canvas app (or model-driven, which ever one works best for this) that allows the user to search for text inside documents, mainly pdfs and docx in a sharepoint list, and return the parent folder (Contacts) of the documents that contain matches. These documents would be stored under their associated Contacts. Essentially, each Contact is a folder that can contain these documents.

Example:

Contact: Jordan and Contact: Molly both store professional resumes (CVs) as pdfs or docx. Inside their resumes they both list "Dynamics 365" as one of their skills somewhere in the text. From the canvas app we perform a search for keyword "Dynamics". This returns a table with contacts Jordan and Molly listed.

Any suggestions on how to set this up? Ideally without using the sharepoint Search REST API but if needed then I am open to that solution as well.

For reference, this is a sample URL of any given contact, with the contact name and ID separated by a dash.
https://<orgname>.sharepoint.com/sites/<site_name>/contact/<ContactName-ID Here>

Thank you!
