Is your search scope too broad? Too many Pods maybe? I've never had an issue with project text search. The only time I've ever had that many problems in an iOS dev workflow was years ago when I was briefly running OSX through VMWare.

There's something else going on with your environment, it shouldn't be giving you this many problems.

He probably (obviously?) has some corrupted Spotlight index.
Does xcode use Spotlight for search? I don't think it does. It clearly pounds the disk when searching but as Spotlight is optional and you can choose to not index various locations, relying on Spotlight for search (and being unable to search locations x, y and z) would mean that xcode would not find results in x, y, and z.
