I haven’t implemented anything like that for myself, but Spotlight indexes the Files app anyway. What’s the point of building a custom index?

It doesn’t index the file contents. For this we have a Spotlight Plugin on macOS. There is a Spotlight extension on iOS, but it’s only for shoebox apps.
As user I’ve seen Spotlight implementations for document based apps (usually just using `NSUserActivity`), but the problem is that they usually duplicate results. You get one result from Files and then another one from the app’s index.
