Searching within flexible content

Hey there,
we have created a website that uses flexible fields as a collection of modules to build the pages like a block editor.

We now want to include a useful search function but the standard WordPress search even with the ACF Search Addon does not get any content from the flexible content anyway. It only outputs Pages, Posts and so on.

Is there a way to also get the search to look at the content from the flexible content and it’s used fields / modules?

Kind regards and thanks in advance

This may not be for everyone but it’s what I use https://github.com/Hube2/acf-to-content
