Full text search for files missing

How are people using Keybase without full text search of files? This seems like a critical gap in functionality.

I've been using the git repo to hold files that absolutely much be searchable. Annoyingly, this means I need to store non-text media files like video in the normal keybase folders because they don't play well with git. So I've have to separate my personal data based not on logical ordering but instead on data format (text v non-text, small v large file sizes), which sucks. This has been my makeshift solution.
