I'm sure there are similar tools on Linux. When I install KDE Plasma, I always disable baloo indexer because I don't need it, but I think it does something like Everything.
FSearch does the same thing, but it's kinda dodgy.
If you're running your Linux install from an ssd, you could probably just leave it enabled. Ssd's are really, really fast at reads and indexing, vs mechanical hard drives, it doesn't really add much overhead to an ssd.
