Keypirinha

Best one I've found is https://keypirinha.com/ which can be expanded via Python plugins (if I remember correctly). It also have Everything integration.

DocFetcher

There are great CLI tools already in this thread, but for some of my side-gig work I'm searching large piles of PDFs, docs formats, and ePubs with a GUI word processor open and need to reference the source by page/graf number. For those I use DocFetcher[1], a quirky and intermittently updated Java app that indexes file contents and provides rudimentary relevance searching along with regex. I index my docs, put the database it generates into a read-only shared directory, and point systems across OSs at that db so I can search quickly regardless of which box (or where) I'm working from, or can toss the app, db, and docs onto a thumbdrive for portability. There's a commercial version that prioritized bugfixes, making the free and open version less attractive than it used to be. But it's still one of the better tools for the job when you want more than a grep-equivalent. [1] http://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html.
