For the platform-independence, I think it would depend on the tool used.

PageFind precompiler release, on their Github, is available for x86_64
GNU/Linux, Apple Darwin and Windows and aarch64 GNU/Linux and Apple
Darwin.

But if we use a search indexer written in interpreted language, as long
as the interpreter is available, we can run it.
