You can use the "si:" prefix in Everything alpha to query Windows index. https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9793 I have some use scenario (finding backlinks in a folder containing thousands of markdown files) where this method fits perfectly and returns results instantaneously (even ripgrep takes a second or two to find all the backlinks as it doesn't use an index). Unfortunately the text snippet showing the context that you get in explorer is not easily retrievable via Windows API. I made a suggestion [1] to the author and he seems open to implement it.

Let me know how recoll works for you, if you try it. It can search within XML stuff like word docs, PDFs and can even do OCR.
