Someone knows a good software to search a large amount of text pdfs locally? Something like mendeley & zotero?

For MacOS, foxtrot pro is fantastic: http://www.ctmdev.com/foxtrot/

It gives you just enough context preview around your search term to judge if the PDF is useful or not. Currently using with 10k+ research papers and very happy with it.
