Finding a satisfactory way to index a lot of data in Linux is a lot harder than it sounds. The most popular tools like Beagle tend to be limited to single keyword searches, which are a pretty blunt tool when looking through hundreds of gigabytes of files. Some tools are a massive pain to set up, I found htree an example of this. Search tools are also frequently set up to default to running as background daemons. While this gives you instant indexed access to anything that goes into the indexed filesystem, the price you pay are massive computer resource usage, to the point where user processes frequently slow down.
