An interesting idea, but it does not seem to be an indexed search
tool. I have about 300,000 files, many quite large, and a brute force
search would take quite a long time. It takes several hours to index
them, but once that is done, searches are quite fast.

I appreciate your suggestion, though.

Thanks,
