Yes, +1 for Recoll. It can also OCR those PDFs that are just an image of a page of text, and not 'live' text. Read the install notes and install the helper applications.

When searching I'll first try the application or system's native search utility, but most of the time I end up opening Recoll to actually find the thing or snippet of text I want, and it has never failed me.
