it is not possible to search binary documents in the database - this stands true regardless whether you'd want to do this via Query Console or via any API.

As explained in this answer you can extract metadata for binary documents or convert binary documents into XML documents for example. Once you do that you can execute search against it and you can execute that search using Node.js as well of course.
