Is there a reason why you don't use mdfind instead (built-in spotlight search from the terminal)?
That way you can search pdf files directly from the terminal without converting to text first, and the directory is already indexed.
E.g:
[$]mdfind -onlyin ~/MyDirectory someSearchTerm
- fit2rule 6y ago1: Force of habit, since I use grep and silversearcher elsewhere a lot, but 2: I hate the mdfind indexer service putting garbage all over my disks, so I've turned it off and forgotten about it.
