 My site is heavily using shortcodes, which load texts from the child
 theme. I noticed ALL pages which use such shortcodes are not properly
 searchable.

 Imagine you have a shortcode which is loading a text file which contains
 the word "dog". If you now search for "dog", the WordPress file containing
 this word is not found. I think this is a big problem as search on a
 website is increasingly important in a world where users do not have time
 to browse through pages.

 Please make the contents of shortcodes appear in the search.
