Is there any library like this ??
No. Because nobody can automagically infer whatever structure your files have.
alex23 gave you a set of tools that you can use for full-text-search. However, that's not necessarily the best thing to do if things have a record-like structure. The canonical answer to this is then to use a database to hold the data, instead of flat files. So if you have any chance to do that, you should try & stuff things in there.
