Is there a minor-mode/function that let me search through a project with several keywords, in the way I a search for files on google. The result should be, like in search engines on the web, a list of files with the most relevant result at the top.

I once started working on a project that used Sphinx (full-text search engine for databases like MySQL), that would do this kind of thing. I didn't finish it though... But, technically, the problem with what you are asking for is that whatever *will* do this search will also have to constantly reindex the contents of the directories you search, which, obviously, takes a lot of resources. Linux desktops typically come with programs that do indexing of file contents, but, also, typically they would be the first to be disabled due to decreased performance. – wvxvw Sep 22 '17 at 08:52

In OSX, y customized `locate-command` to `mdfind`, which is the CLI interface to spotlight search. You should be able to use the file-indexing command for your platform. – Juancho Sep 22 '17 at 14:20
