问题
What are some options for getting really fast 'Find in Files' searching in VIM?
Our codebase is large enough that searching needs to work off an index. grep/vimgrep/etc are too slow.
Indexing doesn't need to be particularly fast; I can index overnight.
Thanks,
[EDIT] I'm also working in a Windows environment.

If it's source code (rather than full text search), then ctags with the TagList plugin should work well for your needs. See, for example:

EDIT: TagList and ctags will work on Windows as well (that's what I use). See the TagList install page and FAQ. The following links might prove useful:
- http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=273
- http://vim-taglist.sourceforge.net/installation.html
- http://vim-taglist.sourceforge.net/faq.html
There's also a TagList forum where you can get further help:

I set it up on my windows machine a while back, but I don't remember encountering any problems.

Something that I use, but not through vim, is ack: http://betterthangrep.com/
It is a perl based tool, and it should be usable in Windows.

If you're working with a large codebase, then it might be time to look for a more powerful solution than conventional tools. OpenGrok is a very fast source code search and cross-reference engine. On top of its great performance, it integrates with Subversion, Mercurial, and ClearCase, among other source revision control software. It sounds a lot like something you could use.
If you want support to use OpenGrok from within Vim, you could easily write a vim function that would call system() to start the search for you. To read more about writing new vim commands, look up :help 40.2 within vim.
I hope that's what you were looking for.

I don't know how I found this, but looks like someone has written a plugin for google desktop

Try to install https://github.com/mileszs/ack.vim, http://beyondgrep.com/ ,
then make a link
ln -s /usr/bin/ack-grep /usr/bin/ack
and add
noremap <C-f> :copen<CR>:Ack -aQi --ignore-dir someignoringdir
to your .vimrc, after you can find in files through Ctrl+F, enjoy
