Say I have a large txt or CSV file with data I want to search. And say I have several files.

What is the best way to index and make this data searchable? I've been using grep, but it is not ideal.

Is there any self hostable docker container for indexing and searching this? Or maybe should I use SQL?

Datasette is a neat tool intended to publish static data in a sqlite database on the web with a helpful gui and a bunch of extensions available. I havent come across a good enough reason to do it myself, but may do what you want.

You can spin it up locally and it wont be on the web at all, just accessed via your browser if thats what you want.
