Funny you should mention BareGrep, the goal of this application was to make my own version of it with the features I wanted. No indexing, PCRE2 JIT search engine. Certain security vendors have been a thorn in my side ever since the beginning, I've reached out to see why they consistently flag my program but get crickets in response (Some of which don't even maintain a valid website certificate, see MaxSecure). I have a clickable hyperlink to the linked project page under Help > About MightyGrep menu, that's my guess as to what's flagging the IP traffic. There isn't any "phoning home" if that's what you're concerned about.

Could you maybe provide a portable version as well ? - it's usually less flagged (less overhead) and easier to check which file could be an offender.

BTW I'm using Everything Search with a column (!) showing content of a file with higlighted search terms - but there is no jump to line in preview option (as well new version changes accestimes).

The windows demo is a standalone 32 bit executable. The installer version is only available for premium users. I might toggle some features to test what is tripping the antivirus, it would be much nicer if they told me what the categories mean (what do I do with Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen???).

How are you checking the access time? File Explorer's "Properties" window changes the access time in Windows 10, that tripped me up during development.

With Everything (sorted by time is live ) 1.4 or in Far Manager. v1.5 Alpha is kind of using more of properties even if I don't want (?). edit: or a column in Explorer.
