One backed makes sense when there are well-defined problem. Search is definitely not well-defined problem (why do we have Google, Yahoo, etc ?). Sure - if you have limited number of files to be searched... you don't need any search engine at all: grep is enough. If you have a lot of files - you have tough (and not well-defined) problem.
