If all you're looking for is a good fulltext search engine, maby
Hyper Estraier (http://hyperestraier.sourceforge.net/) fits the bill.

You could possible write a custom gatherer for it, which adds context
to some words i.e. 'this is a function name', 'this is a variable'. 

What's missing from all these full text search engines is line number
information, so once you have the matching files, you'd still have to
grep them...
