Maybe you guys know what I'm looking for...

Say I want to research a company, and instead of just using Google, I also want to search inside PDFs that are online for that company's name in it. Is there a tool or spider or bot that can crawl the internet and all PDFs to pull up mentions for me. I usually will have to download the PDF, then do something like command + F. But to search the entire internet and all PDFs, then manually redo it daily for any new mentions, or documents that have been uploaded is a ridiculously manual task.

Any service I had rent that can do anything like this?
 
I just found this. It looks to be searching text as well as the pdf title.


These tips might be helpful:
