I'd like to have a "global" search function in Xfce that searches both filename and contents of files, including .conf and all system files by choice. e.g. if i search for ""Option "GLXVBlank" "true"" it will show all files that contain that line. Like this example would state "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf" as answer.
Is there anything that could manage that kind of search in Arch/Xfce?

grep -lr Foo /etc
add -i for case-insensitive, see man grep

If grep is too slow, you might want to use an indexing search engine
