Full Text Search for Markdown and other Text Documents

Full Text Search for Markdown and other Text Documents

I am trying to use the full text search feature, however it seems very limited.

 

According to the documentation and my experiments, Dropbox only indexes the contents of text files with a .txt extension.

 

However, Dropbox can Preview a wide range of files that contain only text, including .md files.

 

Is there a way to get Dropbox to index file extensions other than .txt as Text content?

If not, can this feature be added?
