Say I have a large txt or CSV file with data I want to search. And say I have several files.

What is the best way to index and make this data searchable? I've been using grep, but it is not ideal.

Is there any self hostable docker container for indexing and searching this? Or maybe should I use SQL?

Excel / OnlyOffice?

I love self-hosted tools, but you can do a lot on a spreadsheet.

Btw, if the files are not too large, you can query them using SQL without even hosting a database just by using Pandas. This avoids the problem of updating entries and handling migrations in case the CSVs change over time.

Files won't change and are hundreds of GBs

Are they roughly 55GB compressed?
