  This text in an SVG file is an implementation detail, not user content like the metadata in a JPEG. For example, here's the textual content of a random Breeze icon:
  
  https://cgit.kde.org/breeze-icons.git/tree/icons/devices/64/computer.svg
  
  For example would it make sense to find SVG files when searching for "layer" or "matrix" or "connector"?
  
  If we have a way to index only the genuine metadata (author, keywords, etc) but omit the text that comprises the icon's internal representation, that would work. Otherwise I think this would just add a lot of useless data to the DB.
