Recoll does full-text indexing and searching. It's nearest sibling in portage is probably app-misc/beagle. However, it has unique features that I think merit its inclusion in portage. For instance, it allows boolean and other complex searches, can search for various forms of a word through the use of stemming dictionaries, can narrow down results by doing searches within searches, and in my experience returns results significantly faster than beagle.
