I feel like I should be able to find the answer to this, but since things have changed over the years I feel I should ask the community to make sure of the answer.

What exactly is Google Scholar searching when it crawls into our DSpace repositories?
Does it search our metadata?
Can it conduct a full-text search of bitstreams in DSpace?

Thanks in advance for your response.
