MDL-60360_enable_file_indexing_retroactively -
If you have Global Search set up on a site without file indexing enabled, then at a later date you enable file indexing files associated with existing objects are not added.
The only way to have files for existing objects indexed is to run a reindex of all content.
This issue was originally reported by abias from Ulm Uni as a tracker issue for the search_elastic plugin (https://github.com/catalyst/moodle-search_elastic/issues/30). I have since confirmed the behavior also exists with the core search_solr plugin
