Try "glimpse" (http://webglimpse.net) -- it uses a superset of
grep's arguments and can search large collections of files at
a single bound!  Re-indexing takes a few seconds, but doesn't
need to be done unless there are major changes.  The indexing
makes it considerably faster than grep (you can even read the
index into memory using glimpseserver, and then searches of
~100MB of files take a fraction of a second).  The first thing
I do when using any large Python library is put a glimpse
index on it.
