For me, on macOS, FoxTrot Professional has been my personal file data indexer. Its essential go-to feature for me is sophisticated searching, including a form of regex. Also, true wildcards, no stopwords, and proximity searches put it far out in front of anything else I have tried, including many recent LLM local-docs tools. I have millions of files in dozens of formats in hundreds of GB gathered over decades (many digitized by me) and it handles it all like a champ, though an SSD drive and a late-model Mac is a must at that size. And backups, cause ain't nobody want to lose that.
