Windows uses a plugin called IFilters that allows the Windows Indexing Service to index file formats so that they are searchable. This is also the same process used by SQL Server (think: huge databases) to streamline the “search full text” function. There is no built in .PDF IFilter in Windows.
Adobe makes an extension IFilter:

FoxIt also has one:
