Upload, wait, and google them.
Seriously tho, aside from using a real indexer, I would build a set
of the words I'm looking for, and then loop over each file, looping
over the words and doing quick checks for containment in the set. If
so, add to a dict of file names to list of words found until the list
hits 10 length. I don't think that would be a complicated solution
and it shouldn't be terrible at performance.
If you need to run this more than once, use an indexer.
If you only need to use it once, use an indexer, so you learn how for
next time.

Just wondering if anyone has ever solved this efficiently... not
looking for specific solutions tho... just ideas.
I have one thousand words and one thousand files. I need to read
the files to see if some of the words are in the files. I can stop
reading a file once I find 10 of the words in it. It's easy for me
to do this with a few dozen words, but a thousand words is too
large for an RE and too inefficient to loop, etc. Any suggestions?
Thanks
