Although this is not the place for plugin recommendations (too much personal bias, I guess), I have used the WP Google Search plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-google-search/ which integrates with Google Custom Search Engine.
All you need is a free Google CSE key; enter that in the plugin’s settings, and that’s it. Seems to work well with the PDF’s on the site that I put it on.
