GroupDocs.Signature provides archiveSearchOptions class to specify different options to search text data within the archive documents. Please be aware that the search result will be always as the MetadataSignature.

Here are the steps to search for the values within the archive document with GroupDocs.Signature:

Create new instance of Signature class and pass source document path as a constructor parameter.
Instantiate the various SearchOptions objects according to your requirements. Here there’s ability to compose list of any search options types.
Call Search method of Signature class instance and pass list of the SearchOptions to it.

This example shows how to make advanced search for any data within the archive documents.

using (var signature = new Signature("archive.zip"))
{
    // create list of signature options
    var bcOptions = new BarcodeSearchOptions(BarcodeTypes.Code128);
    var qrOptions = new QrCodeSearchOptions(QrCodeTypes.QR);

    // setup search options
    List<SearchOptions> listOptions = new List<SearchOptions>() { bcOptions, qrOptions };

    // search archive for documents
    var searchResult = signature.Search(listOptions);

    // check the result                
    Console.WriteLine("\nList of successfully processed documents:");
    int number = 1;
    foreach (DocumentResultSignature document in searchResult.Succeeded)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Document #{number++}: {document.FileName}. Processed: {document.ProcessingTime}, mls");
        foreach (BaseSignature temp in document.Succeeded)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"\t\t#{temp.SignatureId}: {temp.SignatureType}");
        }
    }
    if (searchResult.Failed.Count > 0)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("\nList of failed documents:");
        number = 1;
        foreach (DocumentResultSignature document in searchResult.Failed)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"ERROR in Document #{number++}-{document.FileName}: {document.ErrorMessage}, mls");
        }
    }
}
