Indexers have some major restrictions / limits:
-File size limits. 2MB, 40MB, 80MB. I checked them.
-Poor context display. It's mishmash of text from their index file,
Useless context, just like their net stuff. Search is all about context.
-Can't easily export text search results.
-This search can hi-lite specified words, that aren't part of the search
but appear in the context. Indexers can't do this because they hack up
the context.

All my textual data from the last 10 years, is just 70 Megabytes.

OverKill you bet. Techies always go for the OverKill.
