No, that's not the issue. It would be the issue, however,
were we considering such searching through blobs which we
are not.

That, however, is correct. That's why I suggested converting
the "plain text" to unicode encoded text and store it in a
unicode encoded file with the proper markers saying "I am a
utf8 little endian text file". It is still text but it's
sufficiently self-descriptive.

No and no.
The docs viewer does work in a similar way, however. It
exports the blob into a file and uses some OS level
heuristics to determine the MIME type of the exported file
and runs the viewer associated with that mime type.
