LibreOffice currently provides the choice between these two local indexing schemes:

• GNU idutils: see separate page
• ctags: run make tags

(See also: how to use these tools from Vim.)

Additionally, there's an OpenGrok instance running, that also provides easy fulltext search (but needs internet, and looks for all kinds of strings, not only identifiers):
