Why not grep? Are you saying you want full text search with like, stemming and result ranking? If I can piggyback on your question, my notes are in Word files and I sure wish I could grep those. I bet none of the answers at https://superuser.com/questions/70343/grep-in-microsoft-word https://superuser.com/questions/70343/grep-in-microsoft-word work any more because Microsoft will keep changing the file format.
