;; New versions of consult make this dramatically simpler than it used to be. Just one function that you can bind to a key:
;;;###autoload
(defun consult-ripgrep-all (&optional dir initial)
(interactive "P")
(let ((consult-ripgrep-args "rga --null --line-buffered --color=never --max-columns=1000 --smart-case --no-heading --with-filename --line-number"))
(consult-ripgrep dir initial)))

@jthaman Thank you for this.

I noticed that ripgrep by default considers .gitignore. As binary files like pdf are usually part of .gitignore it was not searched by ripgrep-all.

If someone is facing the same issue, then include --no-ignore-vcs flag as one of the args in consult-ripgrep-args to resolve this. But note that there will be performance penalty in big repos.
