Yes, this looks like a (hopefully) better information retrieval system than running CTRL+F over a PDF.

Nothing wrong with that :) information retrieval is hard. And CTRL+F won't render a table for queries like "what is the % increase of revenue over the last 3 quarter"-type queries.

Yes, information retrieval is hard :) A lot of people ask for 'can you get Apple's revenues by product category for all of 2020', how do you get the smallest piece of text that has the most information about product category and revenues ?I can get a lot of text, but that would mean I probably run over the context limit and so on :)
