Software for managing Word files (doc, docx) archive

archivesearchsoftware-recommendation

I have an archive of .doc/.docx files, which I'm frequently using to pull some information. I'm looking for some software that would allow me to search through the content of all these files (Mac OS X 10.7.5).

Note: I haven't tested Spotlight because I've turned it off some time ago (because of power consumption related to file indexing; I also didn't need it before).

Devonthink - any of the versions - will index the contents of the files (and many other filetypes too - providing a searchable db, including a concordance.

Really can't recommend it highly enough.
