Everything indexes folder and files, and not text content (searching for Folder and Files will be fast, but searching for text will be slow).
But you can search for text by Everything by
content:YOUR_QUERY
First, search for the PDF files you want to search within the text.
Then, use "content:" function.

"C:\Doecuments\PDF files\" content:"hello world"
