This has been cool every time it has come back around. It is a shame it isn't more universal. One simple recipe would be to read the file tables directly for speed (like the program 'Everything') and put it in an sqlite db. Something that at least gets halfway is 'Everything' since it indexes files extremely quickly, sorts on multiple attributes extremely quickly, and allows regular expressions. It would be better if these things were built into the OS so that tools could be built on top of them.
