It seems to me that grep works just fine for this application. I put
all my org files under a single directory so that a single recursive
grep for a regexp over *.org and *.org_archive gets me the information I
want. Then I use org to edit/read the files at the specific line
matches.
If you do this in org-mode do you only search files in org-agenda-files
(and maybe their archives?). If you scatter files around a lot how do
you locate them all for the search?
$ find $HOME -name '*.org' -o -name '*.org_archive' | xargs grep -n -e $REGEXP
is probably simpler.
